Air Passenger Rights: Flight Delays & Cancellations
Air passenger rights are designed to protect travelers in cases of flight delays, cancellations, or denied boarding. If your Delta Air Lines flight is delayed or cancelled, you may be eligible for compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly referred to as EU 261 or EC 261), depending on your flight route and circumstances.
EU 261 compensation rights apply if your Delta flight departs from an EU country, regardless of the airline’s nationality, or if you are flying into the EU on a Delta-operated flight. For flights originating outside the EU and arriving in the EU, EU 261 compensation is only applicable if the airline is EU-based. Since Delta is a US-based airline, compensation under EU 261 only applies if the flight departs from an EU airport and is delayed by more than three hours, cancelled without sufficient notice, or results in denied boarding.
The amount of compensation you may receive depends on the distance of your flight:
- For flights up to 1,500 km: €250 per passenger
- For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km: €400 per passenger
- For flights over 3,500 km: €600 per passenger
Compensation is subject to certain exceptions, such as extraordinary circumstances (e.g., severe weather or air traffic control strikes) that are beyond the airline’s control.
If your Delta flight is delayed by three hours or more, cancelled on short notice, or you are denied boarding due to overbooking, you may be entitled to compensation under EU 261. It is important to gather your flight number, booking details, and keep your boarding pass or e-ticket as evidence. Document all communications with Delta regarding your disrupted flight to support your compensation claim.
Claiming compensation for a delayed or cancelled Delta Air Lines flight is your right under EU 261, provided the flight originates within the European Union. Passengers are encouraged to check their eligibility and pursue their claims to ensure airlines uphold their obligations.
