>I am not sure if this is relevant to Rule 240 but these are foreign airlines that don't seem to be bound by any convention which gives the customer rights in these situations.

I know that European Union has got some similar rules that applies to all flights leaving or arriving in an EU destination regardless which country the airlines belong. The rules are valid only in EU obviously.

Unfortunately I have never looked for that rules even though, I believe, you can find it in an EU official web page :(

If anyone know more about that UE rule, please let me know :)
