Flight Delay and Cancellation Compensation Claim

Everything You Need to Know About Flight Compensation

Has your flight been cancelled, delayed, or were you denied boarding due to overbooking? Under the European Union's EC 261/2004 regulation, passengers flying from EU airports or with EU-based airlines may be entitled to compensation between 250 EUR and 600 EUR. The amount depends on the flight distance, delay duration, and reason for cancellation. At UcusIptal.com, we negotiate directly with airlines and initiate legal proceedings when necessary to ensure passengers receive their lawful compensation. We handle claims for major Turkish carriers like Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, AnadoluJet, as well as European airlines such as Lufthansa, Air France, KLM, and Ryanair.

What Are the Eligibility Conditions for Flight Compensation?

Several conditions must be met to qualify for flight compensation. First, your flight must depart from an EU country airport or be operated by an EU-based airline. For delayed flights, the delay must be at least 3 hours upon arrival at the final destination. For cancelled flights, the airline must have notified you less than 14 days before the original departure date. Passengers denied boarding due to overbooking can also claim compensation directly. Force majeure events such as severe weather, political instability, or general strikes may eliminate compensation rights. However, technical malfunctions, crew shortages, and operational issues are considered the airline's responsibility, and compensation rights remain valid in these cases.

How Are Compensation Amounts Determined?

The EC 261/2004 regulation determines compensation amounts based on flight distance in three categories. For short-haul flights up to 1500 km, passengers receive 250 EUR compensation. Medium-haul flights within Europe between 1500 km and 3500 km warrant 400 EUR compensation. Long-haul and intercontinental flights exceeding 3500 km can result in compensation up to 600 EUR per passenger. These amounts are paid per passenger, so families travelling together can each file separate claims. The compensation amount is independent of the ticket price; even if you bought a 200 EUR economy ticket, you may still be entitled to 600 EUR compensation. In addition to compensation, passengers also have the right to a refund for the cancelled ticket or alternative flight rebooking.
