Air Passenger Rights at Tokyo Haneda International Airport
If your flight from Tokyo Haneda International Airport is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (EU 261/EC 261), provided your flight was operated by an EU carrier or your journey was to an EU destination. For EU 261 to apply, the flight must either depart from an EU country or arrive in the EU on an EU-based airline. If your flight originated outside the EU and was not operated by an EU carrier, EU 261 does not apply.
Under EU 261, passengers are entitled to compensation if their flight is delayed by more than 3 hours, cancelled without sufficient notice, or if they are denied boarding due to overbooking. The amount of compensation depends on the flight distance:
- €250 for flights up to 1,500 km
- €400 for flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
- €600 for flights over 3,500 km
Compensation applies to situations where the disruption was within the airline’s control and not caused by extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes. If you experience a long delay, cancellation, or denied boarding, you may also be entitled to care, including meals, refreshments, and hotel accommodation where necessary.
To maximize your chances of receiving compensation, always keep your boarding pass, flight booking details, and any written communications from the airline. If your flight from Tokyo Haneda to the EU is disrupted, you can check your eligibility for compensation according to EU 261/EC 261 regulations.
