Avianca flight compensation — what are my rights?

Since Avianca is a non-EU airline, your rights to flight compensation are only protected by British or EU law under certain conditions.

In order for you to be eligible for Avianca flight compensation, your delayed or cancelled flight must have departed from a British or European airport.

Unfortunately, when flying to the UK/EU on a non-EU airline, your passengers' rights are not protected under British and European flight compensation regulations (more details in the table below)..

Delayed Avianca flight — get compensation.

If your Avianca flight from the UK/EU was delayed by more than 3 hours, you are likely entitled to flight compensation under British and European regulations. Compensation is only available if the airline is at fault for the delay — the airline won’t give you compensation if the delay was caused by a third party or by force majeure.

Cancelled Avianca flight — refund and compensation rules

Depending on the circumstances surrounding your cancelled Avianca flight, you may be entitled to compensation of up to £520, a ticket refund, or both!!

 

When can I claim compensation for my cancelled Avianca flight?

According to British and European flight compensation regulations, you can claim compensation for an Avianca flight if the cancellation was announced fewer than 14 days before the departure date.

Avianca must be at fault for the cancellation — see the 'Extraordinary Circumstances' section of this article for more information on when the airline can refuse compensation.

 

When can I claim a refund for my cancelled Avianca flight?

If your Avianca flight from the UK/EU got cancelled, you can get a refund if:

  1. The airline did not provide you with an alternative flight

  2. The airline did provide you with an alternative flight, but you decided not to take it

How much Avianca 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%.

Extraordinary circumstances — can Avianca deny me compensation?

When the delay or cancellation is caused by a third party or force majeure, Avianca has the possibility to refuse compensation. Those 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.

 

Beware: airlines sometimes claim that extraordinary circumstances happen, even if that was not the case! They do it in the hope that they won’t have to pay flight compensation to passengers.
