Flight compensation Air China:
Copenhagen — Frankfurt

How to be compensated by Air China on the Copenhagen (CPH) - Frankfurt (FRA) line

From Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport, your departure with Air China to Frankfurt didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 679 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The impact of a strike on your Air China compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Frankfurt am Main 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 250 € will not be due.
