Retention of Flight Delay Compensation in the EU
June 7, 2026
The EU has retained the compensation system for delayed flights, with amounts up to 600 euros depending on the delay. Airlines will be required to inform passengers about their rights within 48 hours of a flight's delay or cancellation. The new rules will facilitate the claims process, with airlines having 30 days to respond. Additionally, airlines must now include cabin baggage fees in their advertised prices. These changes follow months of negotiations among member states.
