Etihad flight compensation — what are my rights?

Because Etihad is a non-EU airline, your rights to flight compensation are only protected by the British and European regulations in certain circumstances.

In order for you to be eligible for Etihad flight compensation, your delayed or cancelled flight must have departed from an airport in the UK or the EU.

Unfortunately, when flying to the UK/EU on an airline based outside of the UK/EU, your passengers' rights are not protected by the relevant UK/EU legislation.

Delayed Etihad flight — get compensation.

If your Etihad flight from the UK/EU was delayed by more than 3 hours, you are likely entitled to flight compensation. However, compensation is only applicable if the airline is the party at fault for the delay; Learn more about this in the Extraordinary Circumstances section of this article

To check if you are eligible for Etihad compensation, use our no-obligation Claim Calculator. If you happen to be eligible, our team can then handle the entire claim process for you. To get your money for you, we will even fight for your rights in court!

Cancelled Etihad flight — refund and compensation rules

Your flight must have departed from an airport in the UK or the EU for you to be eligible for flight compensation under British and European legislation. 

Depending on the circumstances of your cancelled Etihad flight, you can claim compensation of up to £520, a refund, or both!

 

When can I claim compensation for my cancelled Etihad flight?

You can claim compensation for an Etihad flight if your flight was cancelled fewer than 14 days before the original departure date, according to British and European flight compensation regulations.

Etihad must be at fault for the cancellation — for more information on when the airline can deny compensation, see the “Extraordinary Circumstances” section of this article.

Remember that since Etihad is a non-EU airline, the right to compensation only applies to flights departing from the UK/EU.

 

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

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

  1. The airline did not offer you an alternative flight

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

How much Etihad 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 Etihad deny me compensation?

Etihad might deny compensation even though your flight was 3 hours delayed or cancelled at the last minute. Airlines must be at fault for the delay or cancellation for you to be able to claim flight compensation. If a third party or a force majeure caused the delay, we are talking about extraordinary circumstances and the airline can deny your flight compensation claim.

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.

 

 

Airlines sometimes claim that an extraordinary circumstance happened, even if that was not the case! They do it to avoid paying out compensation.

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

The delay depends on three different laws:
 

  • The law of the country of departure

  • The law of the country of arrival

  • The law of the country where the airline is headquartered


In general, if your flight was departing from the UK, you have 6 years to claim flight compensation and refund. 

When flying from another country, different time limits may apply: let’s imagine you had an Etihad flight from Amsterdam to Abu Dhabi. In such an event, you will only be able to claim based on Dutch law which states that you have 2 years to claim flight compensation
