F.A.Q.

When your flight has been delayed for more than 3 hours, you may be entitled to receive compensation if the airline company can’t prove that the delay was caused by extraordinary circumstances, which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.

For cancelled flights you won’t receive compensation, if the cancellation was due to extraordinary circumstances for example due to extremely bad weather. Where the cancellation was due to extraordinary circumstances, you may not have the right to compensation, but the carrier must still offer you assistance (reimbursement or re-routing) and care (meals and/or accommodation) while you are waiting for alternative transport.

Regardless of the circumstances, if your flight is cancelled you always have the right to one of the following options: reimbursement of your ticket, re-routing or a return flight as well as the right to assistance.

You may also have a right to compensation (if you were informed less than 14 days prior to the scheduled departure date). However, compensation is not due if the carrier can prove that the cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances.

According to EU regulation, strikes may be considered as extraordinary circumstances, which means the airline company does not have to pay compensation. However, to be exempted from paying compensation, the airline must prove that:

• there is a link between the extraordinary circumstances and the delay or the cancellation, and
• the delay or cancellation could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.

You are traveling on business and your company has paid for the airplane ticket. Your flight fulfills the compensation claim requirements of EU Regulation 261/2004. Who is entitled to receive the compensation?

According to EU Regulation 261/2004, the applicant and claimant is always the air passenger.

Flight tickets booked under a “special tariff conditions” are NOT covered by the EU Regulation 261/2004.

A special tariff ticket is given if a passenger is travelling free of charge or at a reduced fare not available directly or indirectly to the public. A common example for a non-public rate is a corporate travel arrangement that is available for corporate staff only or a reduced fare available only to employees of a tour operator.

However, EU Regulation 261/2004 does fully apply to passengers having tickets issued under a frequent flyer program or other commercial program by an air carrier or tour operator.
