Air Passenger Rights & Compensation for Delays and Cancellations

As a passenger flying with Pakistan International Airlines (PK), you may be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EU 261 or EC 261) if your flight is delayed, cancelled, or overbooked. EU 261/EC 261 applies if your PK flight departs from an airport within the European Union, regardless of your destination or the airline’s country of registration. If you are flying into the EU from a non-EU country with a non-EU carrier, such as PIA, the regulation does not apply. However, if your journey begins within the EU with Pakistan International Airlines, your rights are protected under this regulation.

Under EU 261/EC 261, you may be eligible for compensation if your flight is delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, cancelled without sufficient notice, or if you are denied boarding due to overbooking. Compensation amounts are determined by the flight distance:

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

These compensations are designed to protect your rights as a passenger and ensure you are treated fairly in the event of travel disruptions. In addition to compensation, you may also be entitled to care and assistance, including meals, refreshments, accommodation, and transport to and from the airport, depending on the length of the delay and your specific circumstances.

To qualify for compensation, the disruption must not be caused by extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather, political instability, or air traffic control strikes. Always retain your boarding pass, booking confirmation, and any communication from the airline regarding the disruption.
