Brussels -- Dutch airline KLM has not reimbursed hundreds of British passengers for delays caused by the volcanic ash cloud that engulfed much of Europe, observers say.

The European Union has threatened legal action against the airline to force it to pay passenger expenses caused by the volcanic cloud, which shut down air traffic over much of Europe for 18 days in April and May, the BBC reported Saturday.

EU rules require airlines to cover reasonable hotel and meal costs for passengers but KLM says it will pay for only 24 hours, the British broadcaster said. In some cases, passengers were stranded a week or more.

KLM said it paid for only 24 hours to resolve compensation cases quickly for thousands of European customers.

The plea hearing was rescheduled for July 12.
