The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Aeroflot Russian Airlines fails its obligations on the 1 831 km route from Hannover to Moscow.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Hannover Airport (HAJ)
  • Arrival airport: Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO)
  • Flight distance: 1 831 km (~2h17)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

How to know if the flight Aeroflot Russian Airlines Hannover - Moscow is eligible?

Your entitlement depends on verifiable facts. Air traffic logs will confirm the exact time of door opening at Sheremetyevo International Airport.

Even if Aeroflot Russian Airlines reroutes you, the 400€ compensation still applies if the arrival at Moscow exceeds 3 hours.

What are the conditions for Aeroflot Russian Airlines to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Moscow.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Hannover airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aeroflot Russian Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Hannover, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

What are your rights at Hannover airport in case of prolonged wait?

Consider the situation: stuck endlessly at Hannover Airport, in uncertainty about the new departure. In this scenario, Aeroflot Russian Airlines cannot leave you without anything. The regulation demands action.

In case of a overnight flight delay, the regulation requires that lodging and transport to and from Hannover Airport are entirely at the carrier's expense.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Aeroflot Russian Airlines?

Airlines like Aeroflot Russian Airlines have entire legal teams dedicated to discouraging solo claimants. Facing this asymmetry, being supported changes the game.

The key advantage: they absorb 100% of the risk and only charge when the 400€ case is won.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

The reality is stark: on average, a passenger acting alone takes 4 to 8 months to obtain their 400€ from Aeroflot Russian Airlines. Via a specialist, the time falls to 1 to 2 months.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a LegalTech firm is that they can speed up the process through industrialised follow-up and the prospect of litigation.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The initial rejection from Aeroflot Russian Airlines must not make you give up. In most cases, passenger services invoke "weather" by default to gauge the traveller's persistence.

For your 400€, don't negotiate down with Aeroflot Russian Airlines without the support of a expert who understands the true value of your case for Hannover-Moscow.
