      Air Passenger Rights at Ürümqi Tianshan International Airport

      If your flight from Ürümqi Tianshan International Airport is delayed or cancelled, you may be eligible for compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (EU261 or EC261), provided your flight meets the necessary criteria. This regulation applies if your journey originated within the European Union or if you arrived in the EU on a European airline, even when flying from non-EU airports like URC. If your flight was disrupted and the airline is based in the EU or your flight was destined for the EU, you may have the right to claim compensation for delays, cancellations, or denied boarding.

      Under EU261, compensation for delayed or cancelled flights ranges from €250 to €600 per passenger, depending on the flight distance:

      • Flights up to 1,500 km: up to €250 per person

For flights departing from Ürümqi Tianshan International Airport to the EU, compensation eligibility depends on whether the operating airline is based in the EU. If your flight is operated by an EU airline and lands in the EU, you are covered by EU261. If your flight originates in the EU and lands in Ürümqi, you are also covered.
