Airports around Europe have been swamped with flight delays and cancellations this summer as the aviation industry struggles to cope with a return to pre-pandemic travel.
If you have been affected by these issues while jetting off for your summer holiday, you may be entitled to compensation. The EU-261 Flight Regulation Compensation established common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding, flight cancellations, or long delays of flights.
The law applies to all passengers departing from an EU/EEA airport. It also applies to passengers departing from an airport outside of the EU/EEA but arriving at an EU/EEA airport on an EU/EEA licensed carrier. Here's everything you need to know about your rights when your flight is delayed or cancelled.
