Air Passenger Rights & Compensation for Delayed or Cancelled Flights
As a passenger flying with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, you are protected under EU air passenger rights regulations, specifically EU 261/2004 (also referred to as EC 261). These rules apply if your flight departs from an airport within the European Union, or if your flight arrives in the EU on a European carrier like KLM, even if it originated outside the EU. This protection ensures that you are entitled to care, assistance, and, in many cases, financial compensation if your flight is delayed, cancelled, or you are denied boarding due to overbooking.
Compensation Amounts under EU 261/EC 261: If your flight is delayed by more than 3 hours upon arrival, or cancelled without sufficient notice, you may be eligible for compensation. The compensation depends on the flight distance:
- For flights up to 1,500 km: €250 per person
- For flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: €400 per person
- For flights over 3,500 km: €600 per person
These compensation amounts are set by EU law and are designed to protect your rights as a passenger. If your flight is delayed or cancelled, KLM must also provide meals, refreshments, and accommodation if necessary, depending on the length of the delay and your waiting time at the airport.
To qualify for compensation, the disruption must not be caused by extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather, political instability, or air traffic control strikes. Your eligibility for compensation is determined by the specific details of your case, including the cause of the delay or cancellation and the notice provided by the airline.
