Air Passenger Rights & Compensation for Delayed and Cancelled Flights
Air passenger rights protect travelers when their flights are delayed, cancelled, or overbooked. If your Virgin Australia flight is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under certain regulations, especially when your journey involves the European Union. The most significant regulations in this context are EU 261/2004 and EC 261/2004, which outline compensation and assistance for affected passengers.
To be eligible for compensation under EU 261 and EC 261, your flight must either depart from an airport within the EU (regardless of airline), or arrive in the EU on an EU-registered carrier. This means if you are flying with Virgin Australia from an EU country or to the EU on a Virgin Australia flight, you may be covered. Compensation amounts are determined by the length of the delay and the distance of the flight:
- For flights up to 1,500 km: up to €250 per passenger
- For flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: up to €400 per passenger
- For flights over 3,500 km: up to €600 per passenger
Compensation may apply if your flight was delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, cancelled less than 14 days before departure, or if you were denied boarding due to overbooking. There are exceptions for extraordinary circumstances, such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes, where compensation may not be due. However, the airline must still offer care, including meals, refreshments, and accommodation if necessary.
