Over 60,000 Travelers Are Eligible for Airline Compensation for Flight Disruptions Last Year

European law EC 261 requires airlines to compensate passengers on flights into and out of the EU on a European airline for delays over three hours, as well as for denied boarding and cancellations. If the disruption was caused by circumstances beyond the airline’s control, however, like bad weather, terrorism, or safety concerns such as air traffic control issues, airlines are exempt from this rule.

To determine your eligibility for compensation, simply enter your flight information on AirHelp’s website. You are also able to file a claim directly on the website if you end up being eligible.
