Surinam Airways, the flag carrier of Suriname, weaves essential air links between this picturesque corner of South America and the beating heart of Europe.

However, air travel, with all its magic, is subject to the unexpected.

Whether it is an unexpected storm that blocks the path of the clouds, a technical breakdown that requires immediate attention, or regulatory complications that prolong formalities on the ground, …

Flight delays: A Hidden opportunity?

The experience of waiting for delays is never pleasant for travelers, who often find themselves counting the minutes without being able to take action. Yet it is essential to recognize that waiting time has tangible value and that passengers are not left without recourse. When the delay exceeds two hours, Surinam Airways, like other companies, undertakes to provide concrete assistance in the form of snacks, meals, or even overnight accommodation if the flight is postponed until the next day.

The situation intensified after three hours of delay on arrival; the company is then required to offer financial compensation.

When it comes to compensation for flight delays, here is an overview of the amounts you can expect to pocket, depending on the number of kilometers your flight was supposed to travel:

– For a journey of 1,500 km or less, the rule requires air carriers to pay 250 euros to passengers eligible for repair.

– If you fly a little further, say between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometers, which would take you across a good part of the continent, there we are talking about 400 euros.

– And for travelers who slip away beyond 3,500 kilometers, venturing from the EU to distant lands, this is where you can hit the jackpot: 600 euros.

To claim this compensation, the flight must originally depart from an airport in the European Union, taking into account the particular situation of Surinam Airways, based outside the EU. Furthermore, this compensation obligation evaporates if the delay results from extraordinary circumstances, unforeseeable and insurmountable events which escape the will and management of the airline such as bad weather, absence of air traffic controllers in due to a strike, track problem, etc.
