 Limits of the right to compensation

When traveling with Air Europa, there are situations where you may not receive compensation for a canceled flight. This mainly happens in two cases:

– If you are informed of the cancellation well before departure: If Air Europa notifies you of the suspension of your departure early enough (at least 14 days before the scheduled flight date), you will not be entitled to compensation.

– In the event of force majeure: This means exceptional and unavoidable situations, such as bad weather conditions, natural disasters or crisis situations such as the air traffic controllers’ strike, runway problems or other circumstances and events which prevent the flight to take place in complete safety.

Air law experts at your service

Compensation for a canceled flight does not always go as planned. Often, passengers think that it is enough to submit a claim to the airline, which will then review the claim and, if the conditions are met, award compensation. However, the reality is much more complicated. Faced with multiple obstacles and complex procedures, many people abandon the process.

Fortunately, the emergence of third-party services, founded by legal experts specializing in aviation law, is changing this. Contrary to what some might fear, using these services does not entail prohibitive costs. In fact, these specialists offer to take care of the entire compensation process – from preparing the file to taking legal action against the airline if necessary – without requiring any initial costs. Their remuneration is based solely on the compensation obtained, which means that they are only paid if the passenger is compensated. This approach makes access to justice more accessible to injured passengers and increases their successful claims.
