Compensation Eligibility: When Can You Claim?
You may be entitled to flight delay compensation if your Air Serbia flight departing from an EU airport arrived more than three hours late, was cancelled less than 14 days before departure, or if you were denied boarding against your will. These rights apply only where the disruption was caused by circumstances the airline could have prevented or managed.
Compensation is not payable when delays or cancellations result from extraordinary circumstances beyond the airline’s control. Examples include severe weather conditions, air traffic control restrictions, or unforeseen safety and security issues. Depending on the situation, even certain technical problems may fall outside compensation rules.
If you are offered an alternative flight and reach your destination at a time close to your original schedule, the compensation amount may be reduced or may not apply at all. Many passengers are unaware of how these details affect eligibility, and small differences in timing or ticket conditions can significantly impact a claim.
For this reason, it is always worth checking your eligibility in advance. Skycop can help you understand your passenger rights and assess whether you have a valid claim under UK flight compensation law.
