Flight compensation Air China:
Copenhagen — Beijing

Claim and compensation for flight Air China Copenhagen - Beijing

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 7 194 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

Did you know? Even if Air China is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Air China Copenhagen - Beijing is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Beijing. If Air China made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Beijing Capital International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 7 194 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air China to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Air China compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Beijing Capital International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 600 € will not be due.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Air China for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Air China?

For your Copenhagen - Beijing trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Air China staff at the Copenhagen Kastrup Airport counter during the incident.

By entrusting your case regarding flight CPH-PEK to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Air China customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

Recovering 600 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Air China systems.

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

The first refusal from Air China should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport to prove their faults.
