      Question referred
   
   Can a right to compensation under Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 (1) also exist in the case where a passenger does not catch a directly connecting flight as a result of a relatively minor delay in arrival, with the result that there is a delay in arrival at the final destination of three hours or more, but the two flights were operated by different air carriers and the booking was made through a tour operator who carried out the booking of the entire flight journey via another air carrier?
