What Are Air Passenger Rights?
Under airline passenger rights, the EU Regulation 261/2004 protects travelers when a delayed flight, cancellation, or overbooked flight disrupts their journey.
The regulation applies if:
- Your flight departs from an EU airport or is operated by an EU airline and lands in the EU.
- The flight disruption wasn’t caused by extraordinary circumstances like extreme weather or political unrest.
If eligible, you could receive between €250 and €600 in compensation.

Compensation claims can take from a few weeks to several months, depending on the airline’s response times. But don’t worry – under airline passenger rights they will have to check and solve your case.
Yes. If the flight departed from the EU or landed in the EU, depending on your country, you have up to 3 years to file a claim for the flight disruption, according to EU 261/2004 air passenger rights.
Lennuabi will handle negotiations about the flight disruption and, if necessary, take legal action to fight for your air passenger rights.
If a flight disruption is caused by extraordinary circumstances like severe weather or strikes, compensation most likely won’t apply. Air passenger rights don’t cover extraordinary circumstances.
If you accepted a voucher after a flight disruption, you may have waived your air passenger rights to cash compensation. Always check the fine print before accepting any offers.
If you’re denied boarding or the flight is cancelled, they may offer you an alternative flight that you can take. But be careful with vouchers.
