Flight compensation bmibaby:
Copenhagen — Keflavik

Claim and compensation for flight bmibaby Copenhagen - Keflavik

If your trip departing from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport and arriving at Keflavik International Airport operated by bmibaby was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Copenhagen and Keflavik (2 144 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by bmibaby.

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.

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 bmibaby.

How to know if the flight bmibaby Copenhagen - Keflavik is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if bmibaby offers you a voucher for your Copenhagen - Keflavik flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 2 144 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for bmibaby to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Keflavik.
• 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 bmibaby (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your bmibaby compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by bmibaby staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

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 400 € will not be due.

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