Brexit: did it change regulations for UK passengers with KLM

Regulation 261/2004 was amended after Brexit to the The Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 has been set in place to uphold your rights as airline passenger when you flight is delayed or cancelled. This legislation protects your rights as an airline passenger and determines when you are entitled to make a claim.

Your rights as an airline passenger when your KLM flight has been delayed

In order to fall under one of the legislations your flight must comply with the following rules:

• Your flight departs from an airport in the EU
• Or you are flying from the EU or to the EU with a European airline

What if KLM can proof extraordinary circumstances?

If the airline can prove there were ‘extraordinary circumstances’ and that they were not responsible for the delay, you are not entitled to compensation. If you are unsure whether you are entitled to compensation, please contact us for free advice.

Amount of compensation for your delayed KLM flight

If your KLM flight falls under EU Regulation 261/2004, the amount of compensation you are entitled to is based on the distance of the flight.

• €250 compensation for a delayed flight up to 1500 km
• €400 compensation for a delayed flight between 1500 and 3500 km
• €600 compensation for a delayed flight exceeding 3500 km

When the distance of your flight is 3500 km or more and you arrive with a delay between three or four hours, you are entitled to 50% of the compensation amount.

* The route with which you flew and the airline that performed the airline are key in determining if your will fall with the scope of the EC 261 regulation (and be entitled to Euro’s).
