Guide: compensation for Air India Limited flight from Munich to Delhi

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air India Limited failed to meet its timetable for your Munich → Delhi flight, EU law backs you up.

Fortunately, for this route of 5 899 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Air India Limited to pay you a fixed indemnity. Long-haul flights qualify for the highest compensation tier.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Munich International Airport (MUC)
  • Arrival airport: Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL)
  • Flight distance: 5 899 km (~7h22)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

Too few passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.

How to know if the flight Air India Limited Munich - Delhi is eligible?

The compensation for MUC→DEL is redress for the inconvenience caused, not just a refund of airport taxes. Long-haul flights are particularly affected as delays are more impactful.

  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air India Limited (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Air India Limited compensation
