Air Passenger Rights: Delays, Cancellations, and Compensation

Under EU Regulation 261/2004 (EC 261), passengers flying with Japan Air System (JD) may be entitled to compensation if their flight is delayed or cancelled. This compensation regulation applies if your flight originated from an EU country, regardless of the airline’s nationality. For flights departing from outside the EU, EC 261 applies only if the operating carrier is an EU-based airline. Since Japan Air System is not an EU airline, compensation under EC 261 is only available for flights departing from an EU airport.

If your flight with JD from an EU airport is delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, or if it is cancelled with short notice, you could be eligible for compensation. The amount of compensation depends on the distance of your flight:

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

Compensation claims are subject to certain conditions, such as the reason for the delay or cancellation. Extraordinary circumstances, like severe weather or air traffic control strikes, may exempt the airline from paying compensation. Passengers are also entitled to care, including meals, refreshments, and accommodation if necessary, during long delays.
