Air Passenger Rights: Delays, Cancellations & Compensation

Passengers flying with Gulf Air Bahrain may be entitled to compensation under EU 261/2004 (also known as EC 261), depending on the circumstances of their flight disruption. This regulation protects air travelers when flights are delayed, cancelled, or overbooked. To qualify for compensation, your Gulf Air flight must have departed from an airport within the European Union, regardless of the airline's nationality. If your journey originated outside the EU, you are eligible only if the airline is an EU-based carrier; however, Gulf Air is not EU-based, so EU 261 applies solely to flights departing from EU airports.

Under EU 261, compensation amounts are determined by the flight distance and length of delay upon arrival. For flights up to 1,500 kilometers, passengers may claim up to €250 per person. For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometers, the compensation can reach €400 per person. For flights exceeding 3,500 kilometers, compensation may be as high as €600 per person. In addition to financial compensation, passengers are entitled to care, such as meals, refreshments, and accommodation if required. Remember, delays must exceed three hours, and cancellations must not be due to extraordinary circumstances for compensation eligibility.
