Air Passenger Rights: Compensation for Delays and Cancellations
If your Iberia Airlines flight was delayed or cancelled, you could be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EC 261 or EU 261). This regulation protects passengers departing from airports within the European Union (EU), as well as flights operated by EU-based airlines arriving in the EU from outside the region. For Iberia Airlines, EC 261 applies to all flights departing from or arriving in the EU, as the airline is headquartered in Spain.
Under EU 261, if your flight is delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, cancelled without sufficient notice, or you are denied boarding due to overbooking, you may claim financial compensation. The compensation amount depends on the flight distance:
- For flights up to 1,500 km: €250 per passenger
- For flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: €400 per passenger
- For flights over 3,500 km: €600 per passenger
To qualify, the disruption must not be caused by extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or security risks. For cancellations, passengers must be notified less than 14 days before departure to be eligible for compensation. In addition to monetary compensation, you have the right to care, including meals, refreshments, accommodation (if necessary), and communication assistance while you wait.
