Air Passenger Rights & Compensation

As an air passenger, you are entitled to certain rights under EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly referred to as EU 261 or EC 261), which protects travelers in cases of flight delays, cancellations, and denied boarding. These regulations apply if your Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight departs from an airport within the European Union (EU), or if you are flying into the EU on an EU-based airline. For non-EU airlines like Biman Bangladesh Airlines, EU 261/EC 261 compensation rights apply only when the flight originates from an EU airport and travels to a non-EU destination. If your flight is delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, cancelled without prior notice, or if you are denied boarding due to overbooking, you may be eligible for compensation.

Compensation amounts depend on the distance of your flight:

• For flights up to 1,500 kilometers: up to €250 per passenger
• For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometers: up to €400 per passenger
• For flights over 3,500 kilometers: up to €600 per passenger

In addition to financial compensation, you are entitled to care and assistance such as meals, refreshments, and accommodation where necessary. If your flight is cancelled, you can choose between a full refund or an alternative flight to your final destination. These compensation rights are designed to protect passengers and ensure airlines are accountable for significant disruptions.

Remember, EU 261/EC 261 compensation applies only if your delayed or cancelled flight with Biman Bangladesh Airlines departs from an EU member state. If your journey originates outside the EU and is operated by Biman Bangladesh Airlines, EU compensation regulations do not apply, unless you are flying from the EU.
