Air Passenger Rights – Delays and Cancellations
Passengers flying with Aerolineas Argentinas have specific air passenger rights when their flights are delayed or cancelled, especially when their journey is covered by EU Regulation 261/2004 (EU 261 or EC 261). This regulation applies if your flight departs from an EU airport, regardless of the airline, or when you fly into the EU on an EU-based airline. For example, if you fly from Madrid to Buenos Aires with Aerolineas Argentinas, you are protected under EU 261. However, if your flight originates outside the EU and arrives in the EU (e.g., Buenos Aires to Rome), EU 261 applies only if the airline is EU-based; for Aerolineas Argentinas, this protection does not apply on inbound flights to the EU.
Under EU 261, if your flight is delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, cancelled without adequate notice, or you are denied boarding due to overbooking, you may be entitled to financial compensation. The compensation amount 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
In addition to monetary compensation, you are entitled to care and assistance during delays, including meals, refreshments, communication, and, if necessary, hotel accommodation. Compensation claims can be made if the delay or cancellation was not caused by extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes.
