Air Passenger Rights: Delays and Cancellations

As an air passenger, you have certain rights when your Oman Air flight is delayed or cancelled, especially if your journey is connected to the European Union. Under EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EU 261 or EC 261), you may be entitled to compensation if your flight is delayed by more than three hours, cancelled, or if you are denied boarding due to overbooking.

For EC 261 to apply, your Oman Air flight must either depart from an EU airport or arrive in the EU on an EU-based carrier. Since Oman Air is not an EU-based airline, EC 261 applies only if your flight departs from an EU airport. If your Oman Air flight originated outside the EU and arrives in the EU, EC 261 would not apply. It is vital to know your rights and eligibility when claiming compensation for delayed or cancelled flights.

Compensation Amounts Under EU 261/EC 261

The amount of compensation you can claim under EU 261 depends on the distance of your flight and the length of the delay:

• Flights up to 1,500 km: Compensation of €250 per passenger
• Flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: Compensation of €400 per passenger
• Flights over 3,500 km: Compensation of €600 per passenger

Compensation is typically available if your delay was more than three hours upon arrival, your flight was cancelled with less than 14 days’ notice, or you were denied boarding due to overbooking. There are exceptions, such as extraordinary circumstances (e.g., severe weather or air traffic control strikes), where compensation may not be owed.

To maximize your chances of a successful compensation claim, keep all relevant documentation, including your flight number, booking details, boarding pass, and records of your communications with Oman Air.
