      Air Passenger Rights at Daniel K Inouye International Airport

      If your flight from Daniel K Inouye International Airport is delayed or cancelled, you may have rights to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (EC 261), provided your journey meets certain criteria. EC 261 applies if your flight is operated by an EU-based airline and your destination or origin is within the EU. Additionally, if you are flying from the EU to HNL, you are covered by these regulations, regardless of the airline's nationality. However, flights departing from HNL to the EU are only covered if they are operated by an EU-registered carrier.

      Under EC 261, passengers are entitled to compensation for delays of over three hours, cancellations, or denied boarding due to overbooking. Compensation amounts are determined by the flight distance:

      • Up to 1,500 km: €250 per passenger
      • 1,500 km to 3,500 km: €400 per passenger
      • Over 3,500 km: €600 per passenger
      Most flights between Hawaii and Europe exceed 3,500 km, so eligible passengers may claim up to €600 in compensation per person. The airline must also offer care such as meals, refreshments, and accommodation if the delay or cancellation results in an extended wait.

      To qualify for compensation, the disruption must not be due to extraordinary circumstances (such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes). If your flight with airlines like United Airlines, American Airlines, or Japan Airlines was delayed or cancelled, check your eligibility for compensation today.
