To protect passengers from missing a flight,
the CE has given a ruling that sets out clear rights and
secures compensation.
In summer, people fly more regularly and, probably because of
this, flying can become more difficult. A cancelled or late flight
leads to a series of consequences that weigh on both our mood and
our pockets.
The compensation goes to the passenger who has missed out, as
per the Bill of Rights of the Passenger written by
the Enas, The National Body for Civil Aviation, as well as the
appropriate authority on the subject of aeroplanes.
The Ruling of the European Community 261/2004, "which
establishes common rules on the subject of compensation and
assistance to passengers in the case of being denied boarding,
cancellation of the flight or an extended delay", sets out for
every cancelled flight or one that has a delay of longer than three
hours, or you could be entitled to €250 to €600 of
compensation, based on the distance.
