Air Passenger Rights & Compensation Information
As a passenger of Swiss International Air Lines, you are protected by strong European air passenger rights regulations, including EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EU 261 or EC 261). If your flight is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation, depending on the circumstances. These rights apply if your flight departs from an EU airport, or if you are flying into the EU on a European carrier like SWISS, even if your journey started outside the EU.
Under EU 261, compensation amounts are determined by the distance of your flight and the length of the delay. For flights up to 1,500 kilometers, you may be entitled to €250 per person. For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometers, compensation can reach €400 per person. For long-haul journeys over 3,500 kilometers, compensation may be as high as €600 per person. If your flight with SWISS was delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, or if it was cancelled less than 14 days before departure, you could have a valid claim for compensation.
It's important to note that extraordinary circumstances, such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes, may exempt the airline from paying compensation. However, technical issues or crew shortages are generally not considered extraordinary. Always keep your travel documents and any correspondence with the airline to support your claim.
