Flight cancellation compensation vol. 2

Definition of flight cancellation

An airline considers a flight as canceled if the plane never left the tarmac.

The EC 261 regulation defines a canceled flight as, “The non-operation of a flight which was previously planned and on which at least one place was reserved”.

An airline can cancel a flight for a number of reasons. Sometimes, problems like bad weather or security risks can create a knock-on effect leading an airline to pull the plug on a flight.

However, when an airline cancels your flight, you may be eligible to receive flight cancellation compensation.
