Air Passenger Rights: Delays & Cancellations
As an Air France passenger, you have specific rights under European regulations if your flight is delayed or cancelled. The key legislation is EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EU261 or EC261), which provides compensation and assistance for passengers facing disruption. You are eligible for compensation under EU261 if your flight departs from an EU airport, or if you are flying into the EU with an EU-based airline such as Air France, regardless of where your journey originated. This means that all Air France flights departing from the EU, as well as Air France flights arriving in the EU from non-EU countries, fall under the scope of EC261.
If your Air France flight is delayed by three hours or more upon arrival, or if it is cancelled less than 14 days before departure, you may be entitled to financial compensation. The amount depends on the distance of your flight:
- 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
Additional assistance, such as meals, refreshments, hotel accommodation, and transport, must also be provided by Air France when necessary. Exceptions may apply in extraordinary circumstances, such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes, where the airline is not required to pay compensation but must still provide care and assistance.
If your Air France flight was delayed, cancelled, or you were denied boarding, you can check your eligibility for compensation according to EU261. Remember, compensation claims can be made for flights from the past several years, depending on local regulations.
