      Your Air Passenger Rights at Birmingham Airport

      If your flight from Birmingham Airport (BHX) is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (also known as EU 261 or EC 261). This regulation protects air passengers on flights departing from any airport located within the European Union, including the United Kingdom, or arriving in the EU with a European airline. For flights departing Birmingham, your journey is fully covered by these rules, regardless of your destination or the airline’s nationality.

      Under EU 261, you are 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. The amount of compensation depends on the flight distance:

      • €250 per passenger for flights up to 1,500 km
      • €400 per passenger for flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
      • €600 per passenger for flights over 3,500 km

      To qualify for compensation, your flight must either depart from an EU airport (such as Birmingham) or arrive in the EU with an EU-based airline. If your flight originated outside the EU and was operated by a non-EU airline arriving at Birmingham, EU 261 may not apply. However, all flights departing from Birmingham Airport are covered, regardless of the airline.

      Additional rights include care and assistance during long delays, such as meals, refreshments, and hotel accommodation if necessary. If your flight is cancelled, you are also entitled to a refund or re-routing to your final destination.
