Claim Compensation

EC Regulation 261/2004 – EU Air Passenger Rights

EC Regulation 261/2004 (dated 17 February 2005) is a European Union Regulation, applies to air passengers departing from any EU airport, or a non-EU airport with an EU airline to an EU destination.

Passengers must note that flight compensation is subject to certain conditions and exceptions. There will be no compensation for a delay or cancellation caused due to extraordinary circumstances.

If you had booked Emirates flight ticket and your international flight from an EU airport was delayed or cancelled, which could have been avoided by the airline, then according to Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004, you can claim compensation.

The amount of compensation varies between 250€ to 600€ based on distance of travel and the delay duration, which should be more than 3 hours.

Within EU:

  1. If you travel up to 1,500 km or less, then you can claim up to 250€
  2. And over 1,500 km, you can claim up to 400€

Between EU Airport And Non-EU Airport:

  1. If you travel up to 1,500 km or less, then you can claim up to 250€
  2. If the distance is between 1,500 – 3,500 km, then you can claim up to 400€
  3. And if the distance is more than 3500 km and flight delays for more than 4 hours, then you can claim up to 600€

Note: If you are travelling to a Non-European country from a Non-European country by a European Flight, EU 261 Rule won’t apply to you. It is only applied in the case of EU based flights travelling within Europe or to or from an EU Member State.

Am I Eligible To Claim Compensation?

EC Regulation 261/2004 is a European Union Regulation, it applies to EU and Non-EU airspace. You do not have to be an EU citizen to claim flight compensation.

This means that you can claim on flights departing from any airport located in the EU (with any airline) or arriving in the EU (with an EU airline).

Thus you are eligible to claim compensation for flights departed or which were scheduled to depart from an EU airport.
