Flight compensation Air Canada:
Amsterdam — Copenhagen

Legal right to compensation: Air Canada flight between Amsterdam and Copenhagen

The AMS - CPH route operated by Air Canada experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Amsterdam and Copenhagen (633 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air Canada.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Air Canada.

How to know if the flight Air Canada Amsterdam - Copenhagen is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Copenhagen. If Air Canada made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 633 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air Canada to compensate you?

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