Air Passenger Rights: Delays, Cancellations, and Compensation

As an air passenger, you have important rights under EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EU 261 or EC 261) in the event of flight delays or cancellations. If your Uzbekistan Airways flight originated from an EU country, or if you were flying to the EU on an EU-based airline, you may be entitled to compensation. For non-EU airlines like Uzbekistan Airways, EU 261 applies only if your journey started within an EU member state, regardless of your destination.

Compensation amounts are determined by the distance of your flight and the length of the delay. If your flight is delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, or cancelled without sufficient notice, you may claim compensation as follows:

• For flights up to 1,500 km: up to €250 per passenger
• For flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: up to €400 per passenger
• For flights over 3,500 km: up to €600 per passenger

In addition to compensation, you may have the right to care, such as meals, refreshments, and accommodation if necessary. If your flight is cancelled or significantly delayed, Uzbekistan Airways must offer you re-routing or a refund, as well as assistance at the airport. These rights apply for eligible flights under EU 261 rules, so always check if your journey qualifies.
