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.
