Did you know that your flight delayed due to technical reasons may qualify for cash compensation of up to $700 (€600)? Your residency and citizenship do not affect your potential rights. Any air passenger may refer to Regulation 261/2004 seeking protection in case of flight disruptions.

Did you have a disrupted international flight? Your rights may be protected under the Montreal Convention treaty that does not define fixed compensation amounts. They are calculated based on the damages caused by the disruption.
Various issues can affect the functional operation of the airline. Your flight may be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather, strikes, aircraft maintenance issues, etc.
Some of them, such as technical problems, are within the control of the airline. This means that airlines can prevent such issues when they arise.
The only exception is hidden manufacturing defects. It is considered being one of the extraordinary circumstances when the airline is not required to pay compensation.
The detection of such defects usually leads to the massive withdrawal of the aircraft’s fleet. This means that the delays that are actually caused by such events are uncommonly rare. Thus, the chances of the flight being delayed due to this extraordinary circumstance are very low.
We at AirAdvisor highly recommend filing your claim regardless of the disruption reason, including various technical issues. You can do so in less than 3 minutes by clicking “Complaint about delayed flight” below.

When you experience a flight delay due to a technical problem, you have the right to care and assistance. At the difference of the cash compensation, you can claim these rights regardless of disruption reason.
Whenever you are facing flight cancellations, delays or denied boardings, here is what you can ask for from the airline:
Flight Distance | all flights, less than 1,500km | all internal EU flights, more than 1,500km | all non-internal EU flights, 1,500-3,500km | all non-internal EU flights, more than 3,500km |
Waiting Time | 2 hours or more | 3 hours or more | 3 hours or more | 4 hours or more |
It is not always simple to prove the flight disruption was caused by a legit technical malfunction that would oblige the airline to pay compensation. Each air carrier has numerous expert engineers and lawyers to drop charges against them.
They usually explain a delay resulting from a hidden manufacturing defect to avoid paying compensation. But, this does not mean that it was an actual cause of the delay. Thus, even if the airline refuses compensation, there are still chances that your case is valid.
