Your right to compensation under EU 261/2004

Regulation EU 261/2004 protects passengers when things go wrong in the air. If your Marabu Airlines flight is delayed, cancelled, or you face denied boarding, you can be entitled to up to €600. The rules cover flights departing from the EU and flights arriving into the EU on an EU-based carrier.


Marabu Airlines compensation for a delayed flight

If you flew with Marabu Airlines and your flight landed more than three hours late, you can be entitled to compensation — as long as the delay wasn’t caused by extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, strikes). Marabu Airlines should also tell you about your rights, hand out refreshments and, if needed, cover a hotel.


Marabu Airlines compensation for a cancelled flight

If Marabu Airlines cancels your flight and gives you less than 14 days’ notice, you’re entitled to compensation. The airline should offer a rerouting or a refund. If you were told less than 7 days before departure and the rerouting doesn’t work for you, the full compensation is on the table.


How much compensation am I entitled to?

Flight distanceCompensation per passenger
Up to 1,500 km€250
1,500–3,500 km€400
Over 3,500 km (e.g. London – New York)€600

The amounts are fixed by EU rules and don’t depend on the price of your ticket.


When you’re entitled and when you’re not

You’re not entitled to compensation when:

  1. You were told about the cancellation more than 14 days before departure.
  2. The delay or cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances.
  3. You didn’t check in on time.

One more thing worth knowing: if you accept compensation on the spot from the airline (vouchers, bonus miles), that can affect your right to cash compensation later.
