Brexit: did it change regulations for UK passengers with SAS

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.

When are you entitled to compensation for flight delays if you flew with SAS

To be entitled to compensation, your delayed flight must meet the following flight delay rules:

• Flight departed from an EU country
• Or the flight departed from outside the EU to a country within the EU with a European airline
• And the flight arrived at the end destination with a delay of three hours or more

What if your SAS flight was delayed due to extraordinary circumstances?

If the flight delay was due to an extraordinary circumstance, you are not entitled to compensation. When ‘extraordinary circumstances’ apply, the airline can prove that it was not responsible for the delay. Examples of such circumstances include adverse weather conditions and acts of terrorism.

Amount of compensation for your delayed SAS flight

If your SAS 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).
