Passengers Rights under EC Regulation 261/2004 (EU 261 Rule)

EC Regulation 261/2004 (dated 17 February 2005) applies to air passengers departing from any EU airport, or from a non-EU airport with an EU airline to an EU destination. However, you can claim compensation from airlines; passengers must note that flight delay compensation is subject to certain conditions and exceptions.

There will be no compensation for a delay / cancellation caused by an extraordinary circumstance, under which such delay / cancellation becomes uncontrollable. An example of such situations includes bad weather or security concerns such as fear of a terror attack. In such situations, passengers will not be given any compensation.

Nevertheless, if there is a delay of more than 4 hours for a flight of 3500 km or more; delay of 3 hours or more in an intra-community flight of 1500 km or more; and delay of 3 hours in case of flight under 1500 km, the passenger is entitled to claim compensation under EU norms as set by the Regulation. This is only entitled when the delay is not caused by an extraordinary circumstance.

Within EU:

1. If you travel up to 1,500 km or less, then you can claim up to 250€
2. And over 1,500 km, you can claim up to 400€

Between EU Airport And Non-EU Airport:

1. If you travel up to 1,500 km or less, then you can claim up to 250€
2. If the distance is between 1,500 – 3,500 km, then you can claim up to 400€
3. And if the distance is more than 3500 km and flight delays for more than 4 hours, then you can claim up to 600€

Note: If you are travelling to a Non-European country from a Non-European country by an European Flight, EU 261 Rule won’t apply to you. It is only applied in the case of EU based flights travelling within Europe or to or from an EU Member State.

As mentioned above, If you are a KLM air passenger and your flight has been delayed or cancelled (without any prior notice) or for reasons which could have been easily solved then according to Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004, you can get up to 600€ as flight delay compensation.
