      Air Passenger Rights at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport

      If your flight from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under certain circumstances. While EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EU 261 or EC 261) primarily applies to flights departing from an EU airport or operated by an EU-based airline arriving in the EU, it can be relevant to travelers at SZX when flying to Europe with an EU carrier. According to EU 261, you are protected if your flight departs from an EU country or if you are traveling to the EU on an EU airline. For example, if your flight from Shenzhen to London with an EU-based airline is delayed or cancelled, you may be eligible for compensation.

      Compensation amounts under EC 261 are determined by the distance of your flight and the length of the delay. For flights up to 1,500 kilometers, passengers may claim up to €250. For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometers, compensation can reach up to €400. For long-haul flights exceeding 3,500 kilometers, such as intercontinental routes from Shenzhen to Europe, compensation can be as high as €600 per passenger. To qualify, the delay must be at least three hours on arrival, and the disruption must not result from extraordinary circumstances beyond the airline’s control.

      In the event of a cancellation, you are entitled to a refund or re-routing, as well as care and assistance at the airport, including meals, refreshments, and accommodation if necessary. Always keep your travel documents, boarding passes, and any communication with the airline, as these will support your compensation claim. If your flight from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport is affected, check your eligibility for compensation and ensure your passenger rights are fully protected.
