If your flight from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) to the EU was delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (EU 261/EC 261). This regulation protects passengers on flights departing from an EU airport, or arriving in the EU with an EU-based airline. For flights from PVG to the EU, you are eligible to claim compensation if your airline is based in the EU and your flight meets the criteria for delay or cancellation.
Compensation amounts are determined by the distance of your flight and the length of the delay. For flights over 3,500 kilometers (such as most intercontinental routes from PVG to Europe), compensation can reach up to €600 per person if your delay exceeds three hours at the final destination. For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometers, compensation may be up to €400, and for flights less than 1,500 kilometers, up to €250. These rights apply if the disruption was not caused by extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes.
If your flight was cancelled, the airline must offer you a choice between a refund or re-routing to your final destination. Additionally, you may be entitled to care, including meals, refreshments, and accommodation if necessary. It is important to keep your travel documents, boarding pass, and any communication from the airline to support your claim.
