Air Passenger Rights for Korean Air Flights
If you experience a flight delay or cancellation with Korean Air, you may be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EU 261 or EC 261), depending on your flight's departure and destination points. For EU 261 to apply, your Korean Air flight must either depart from an airport located within the European Union (regardless of the airline’s nationality) or arrive in the EU on a flight operated by an EU-based carrier. Since Korean Air is not an EU-based airline, the regulation applies only to flights departing from EU airports.
Under EU 261, passengers may be eligible for compensation if their flight is delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, cancelled without at least 14 days’ notice, or if they are denied boarding due to overbooking. The amount of compensation is determined by the flight distance:
- 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
Compensation may not be owed if the delay or cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances, such as severe weather or security risks. However, airlines must still provide care, such as meals, refreshments, and accommodation if necessary, during extended delays.
