Air Passenger Rights and Compensation
If your Cathay Pacific flight was delayed or cancelled, you may be eligible for compensation under European regulations, specifically EU 261/2004 (also known as EC 261). This regulation protects passengers flying from an airport within the European Union, or those flying to the EU on an EU carrier. Although Cathay Pacific is a non-EU airline, EC 261 applies if your flight departs from an EU airport, regardless of your destination. However, flights departing from non-EU airports to the EU are only covered if operated by an EU-based airline, so EC 261 does not apply in that scenario for Cathay Pacific.
Under EC 261, you may be entitled to compensation if your flight was delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, cancelled without sufficient notice, or if you were denied boarding due to overbooking. The compensation amount depends on the flight distance:
- Up to 1,500 km: €250 per passenger
- 1,500 km – 3,500 km: €400 per passenger
- Over 3,500 km: €600 per passenger
Compensation may not be available in extraordinary circumstances, such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes. For missed connections, your rights depend on the cause and total delay at your final destination. If eligible, you can claim for both delayed and cancelled flights operated by Cathay Pacific, provided your journey started from an EU country.
