Why are DELAY.AERO services useful for passengers?2022-08-30T00:41:33+03:00

Passengers receive flight information, airline information, airport information, other travel news and information, useful information for air travellers. Passengers benefit from the Eligibility Determination Service by analysing flights and conditions presented by the Beneficiary, through specialised software and by reference to the protection measures for passengers travelling by air. The eligibility service is carried out on an individual, request-by-request basis in the DELAY.AERO web form or for all flights found, if the client is connected to the DELAY.AERO platform. The eligibility service will inform the customer about the probability of having an eligible request. An eligible request will have a high probability of being paid, and DELAY.AERO will provide its support service for such requests for communication with the airline, if requested by the customer. Passengers are fully supported from the moment the form is filled in until the compensation is received.

Because the compensation process differs from company to company and the estimated time in which you will receive compensation varies. DELAY.AERO’s intention is to settle all compensation claims received amicably. Depending on each airline’s policy, we may receive a response to a claim within 2 weeks, but the compensation process can take anywhere from 30 days to 12 months or more, depending on the legal obligations each airline has in the state of origin.

What kind of situations are considered exceptions?2022-08-30T00:44:44+03:00

In certain situations, the flight operator is obliged to cause a flight delay, cancellation or deny you boarding for your health and safety and/or that of other passengers. Thus, the following situations are considered exceptional under the legislation in force:

  • Political instability (e.g. large-scale protests);

  • Adverse weather conditions (e.g. fog or snowstorms);

  • Security risks (e.g. threat of terrorist attack on the airport);

  • Unexpected technical problems that may affect passenger safety (e.g. unforeseen problems in aircraft operation);

  • Strikes affecting company operations (e.g. airport strike).

How do I get reimbursement for additional expenses incurred due to the airline?2022-08-30T00:45:24+03:00

Airlines usually reimburse customers for any extra expenses they incur, but this is not compulsory and depends on the policy of each individual airline. In any case, in order to get these expenses settled, you will have to prove them by providing the company with the corresponding receipts or vouchers.

What is the deadline for claiming compensation for a cancelled or delayed flight?2022-08-30T00:45:46+03:00
