Delays and cancellations at Brussels Airport: can the airline deny my claim?

Unfortunately, there are some circumstances in which the airline will be unable to provide flight compensation for your delayed or cancelled flights. These are known as extraordinary circumstances, and they occur when a delay or cancellation is caused by a third party or an unforeseen event that is not the airline's fault.

Here are a few examples of those situations:
 

  • 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.

 

How much time do I have to submit my flight compensation claim?

This depends on the respective regulations in the country of departure, the country of arrival and the country where the airline is based. 

For example, if you had a flight from Brussels Airport to London Heathrow operated by Air France, you would be able to claim under the: 
 

  • Belgium law: 1 year

  • British law: 6 years

  • French law: 5 years

 


Unsure whether you are still eligible for flight compensation?
