Air Passenger Rights & Compensation for Delays and Cancellations

As an air passenger, you are protected by important regulations in the event of flight delays, cancellations, or denied boarding. Under the EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly referred to as EU 261 or EC 261), you may be entitled to financial compensation if your Grupo TACA (TA) flight is delayed by more than three hours, cancelled without sufficient notice, or if you are denied boarding against your will.

To qualify for compensation under EU 261, your flight must either depart from an airport located within the European Union (EU), or arrive in the EU on an EU-based airline. Since Grupo TACA is not an EU-based airline, compensation is only applicable if your flight originated from an EU airport. The amount of compensation depends on the flight distance:

• For flights less than 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 claims can be made for flights delayed by three hours or more upon arrival, or for flights cancelled less than 14 days before departure. Exceptions apply if the disruption was due to extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes.

If you experienced a delayed or cancelled Grupo TACA flight departing from the EU, you may be eligible to claim compensation. Ensuring your rights as a passenger is essential, and compensation claims can help you recover costs and inconvenience caused by disrupted travel plans.
