Depending on the circumstances of your Air Belgium flight cancellation, you may be entitled to compensation of up to £520, a ticket refund, or both.

 

When can I claim compensation for my cancelled Air Belgium flight?

You may be entitled to compensation if your Air Belgium flight was cancelled fewer than 14 days before the scheduled departure date and you did not take another flight offered by the airline.

Additionally, for you to be eligible for compensation, Air Belgium must be the party at fault for the cancellation. For more information, see the "Extraordinary Circumstances" section of this article.

 

When can I claim a refund for my cancelled Air Belgium flight?

You can claim Air Belgium refund if your flight was cancelled and the airline did not offer you an alternative flight; or they did offer you one but you decided not to take it.

How much Air Belgium compensation can I get for a delayed or cancelled flight?

The amount of compensation is determined by the distance of your flight:
 

  • For flights shorter than 1,500 km, the compensation is £220.

  • For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km, the compensation is £350.

  • For flights of over 1,500 kilometres within the EU, the compensation is also £350.

  • For flights of over 3,500 kilometres outside of the EU, the compensation is £520 —but if your flight was delayed by fewer than 4 hours, the total amount might be reduced by 50%.

I was flying with Air Belgium to a non-EU/non-UK country. Can I still claim compensation?

Yes. Because Air Belgium' headquarters are in Belgium, the EU flight compensation laws apply to the airline. Even if you are flying with Air Belgium to South Africa or the Dominican Republic, you are entitled to compensation if your Air Belgium flight is delayed or cancelled.

However, if a non-EU/non-UK carrier would operate your flight, the situation can be different, as shown in the table below.

Extraordinary circumstances — can Air Belgium deny me compensation?

When a third party or force majeure causes a delay or cancellation, Air Belgium has the right to refuse compensation. These situations are referred to as extraordinary circumstances.

Some of the most common extraordinary circumstances are: 
 

  • Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.

  • A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).

    However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!

  • Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.

  • Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

  • A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.

  • An ill or unruly passenger.

  • Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.

 

You should be aware, however, that airlines sometimes claim that extraordinary circumstances occurred, even if that was not the case. This is a trick used by airlines to avoid having to pay flight compensation to passengers.

How long do I have to claim my Air Belgium compensation and refund?

Air Belgium doesn’t depart from the UK, therefore the time limit to claim flight compensation will depend on different local rules:
 

  • The law in the country of departure

  • The law in the country of arriva

  • The law in the country where the airline is headquartered

 

In general, when flying with Air Belgium, you have only 1 year to submit a claim, as this is the law in Belgium. However, if your flight is going to — for example — a French island, such as Guadeloupe, you can claim based on the French law which gives passengers 5 years to submit a claim.
