Air India Compensation for Flight Delays and Cancellations

Your bags are packed, your hotel is booked, and an exciting trip lies ahead — only to discover at the airport that your flight has been cancelled. If this sounds familiar, you may be entitled to compensation.

Here, we explain everything you need to know about Air India flight cancellations, Air India rescheduling policies, and Air India flight delays. We also outline how Skycop can help you claim the compensation you may be owed.

Understanding UK261 Regulation and Your Air Passenger Rights

The UK261 regulation protects air passengers when flights are delayed, cancelled, or overbooked. If you are flying with Air India from the UK, or arriving in the UK on an Air India flight from a non-UK country, your journey may be covered by UK261 passenger rights. Here’s what the regulation includes:

  • Flight delays of 3 hours or more may entitle you to compensation of up to £520.
  • Flight cancellations with less than 14 days’ notice may qualify you for a refund or compensation.
  • Denied boarding due to overbooking may entitle you to compensation of up to £520.

When Are You Entitled to Air India Flight Compensation?

Flight Disruptions

Flight disruptions include delays, cancellations, and denied boarding due to overbooking.

Under Air India’s flight delay policy, passengers experiencing a delay of more than three hours may be entitled to a full refund of their ticket cost.

Under UK261, you may be able to claim Air India flight delay compensation if:

  • Your flight arrived more than three hours late.
  • You were informed of the disruption less than 14 days before departure.

In addition, if the airline loses your baggage and it cannot be located within 21 days, you may be entitled to make an Air India baggage damage claim under the airline’s delayed baggage compensation policy.

Schedule Changes

If Air India reschedules your flight, you may be entitled to a refund or an alternative flight. You may also be eligible for flight cancellation compensation if you were notified of the change less than 14 days before departure.

Flight Cancellations

If your Air India flight is cancelled, you can request either a refund or rebooking on an alternative flight. Passengers may be entitled to flight cancellation compensation if:

  • The cancellation resulted in a delay of more than three hours at arrival.
  • You received less than 14 days’ notice of the cancellation.

For international flights that do not depart from or arrive in the UK, different Air India international cancellation rules may apply.

Extraordinary Circumstances

Under UK261, airlines are not required to pay compensation if a flight disruption was caused by extraordinary circumstances beyond the airline’s control. You will not be eligible for Air India delay compensation if the disruption was caused by:

  • Extreme weather conditions
  • Air traffic control strikes
  • Security risks
  • Airport infrastructure failures

FAQ

  • Am I Eligible for Compensation if My Air India Flight Was Delayed by More Than 3 Hours?

    You may be entitled to compensation under UK261 if your Air India flight departed from the UK and you arrived at your final destination more than three hours later than scheduled.However, eligibility depends on several factors, including the cause of the delay and the specific flight route.

  • What Are My Rights if Air India Cancels My Flight at Short Notice?

    If your Air India flight departing from the UK was cancelled less than 14 days before the scheduled departure date, you may be entitled to compensation under UK261, depending on the timing of the alternative flight and the length of the delay on arrival.
