Air Passenger Rights & Compensation (EU 261/EC 261)
As a passenger flying with Finnair, you are protected under European Union Regulation EU 261/EC 261 in case of flight delays, cancellations, or denied boarding. These regulations apply if your flight departs from any EU airport, regardless of the airline, or if your flight is operated by an EU-based airline (like Finnair) arriving in the EU from a non-EU airport. This means that flights operated by Finnair from Helsinki to any destination, and flights from non-EU countries to the EU with Finnair, are covered by these passenger rights.
If your flight is delayed by at least three hours upon arrival, cancelled without sufficient notice, or you are denied boarding due to overbooking, you may be entitled to financial compensation. The compensation amount is determined by the flight distance:
- €250 per person for flights up to 1,500 km
- €400 per person for flights within the EU over 1,500 km, and for other flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
- €600 per person for flights over 3,500 km
Compensation may not be available in cases of extraordinary circumstances, such as severe weather, political instability, or air traffic control strikes. However, airlines are still required to provide care, including meals, refreshments, and accommodation if necessary, during long delays.
Cancellations entitle passengers to a refund or re-routing, and compensation is due unless the airline informs you at least 14 days in advance or offers an alternative flight with similar timings. If you experience a delay of more than two hours (for flights up to 1,500 km) or more, you are entitled to assistance such as meals, drinks, and communication facilities.
