Air Passenger Rights: Delays, Cancellations, and Compensation

As an Iran Air passenger, you may be entitled to compensation for flight delays, cancellations, or denied boarding, especially if your journey falls under EU regulations. Under EU Regulation EC 261/2004 (often called EU 261), if your Iran Air flight originated from an EU country, or if you were flying to an EU destination with an EU carrier, you have specific rights regarding care and financial compensation.

EU 261 applies if your flight departs from an EU airport, regardless of the airline, or if you are flying into the EU on an EU-based airline. For Iran Air, EU 261 compensation is only applicable for flights departing from an EU country. If your Iran Air flight is delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, cancelled at short notice, or you are denied boarding due to overbooking, you may be eligible for compensation, provided the disruption was not caused by extraordinary circumstances.

The compensation amounts depend on the flight distance:

• Up to 1,500 km: €250 per passenger
• 1,500 km to 3,500 km: €400 per passenger
• Over 3,500 km: €600 per passenger

If your Iran Air flight is cancelled or delayed, you have the right to request a rerouting or a full refund. If you are eligible under EC 261, you can claim compensation for your inconvenience. Make sure to document all communication with the airline and keep copies of your travel documents.
