The question has often been asked who can submit compensation claims for a flight delay? The EC regulation 261/2004 entitles anyone who has experienced an EU flight delay of 3 hours or more dating back to February 17th 2005 to make a claim against the EU airlines. This ruling applies to flights:
- Departing an airport located in any member state of the European Union, and also in Iceland, Norway or Switzerland,
- Arriving at an airport located in any member state of the European Union, and Iceland, Norway or Switzerland, if the flight is conducted by a European airline such as British Airways, Lufthansa, Iberia, Thomas Cook, Alitalia, German wings, Air France, Thomson Airways etc.
The amount a passenger can claim as dependent on the length of the delay and the length of the flight and ranges from Euros 250 to Euros 600 per passenger. The company Blueway Limited who operate under the website flightdelayrefunds.com are specialists in dealing with all compensations claims for EU flight delays and flights cancellation compensation against European Union Airlines. They have aviation and legal teams who will deal with everything in the claim process for anyone who has encountered delays with an airline flight in Europe. They will use their historic flight data systems and weather reporting statistics to provide the right burden of legal proof to the EU Airlines and will deal with everything in the claim process on behalf of the passenger working on a strictly no win/no fee basis.
Even if an airline has already refused to make a payment for a compensation claim for an EU flight delay then Blueway Limited are able to help with the claim process. They are able to use their experience and flight data systems to argue against the airlines attempts to refuse payments of compensation and their legal teams are not afraid to take on the cases and fight for the passenger's compensation. They are able to represent any passengers who have suffered EU flight delays.
EU airlines will normally try to use technical and mechanical failures as “extraordinary circumstances” and refute the compensation claims for EU flight delays. However Blueway are not scared to take on the European Union airlines and strive to win the compensation claims for the passengers for the flight delays or EU cancelled flights.
