Flight compensation Brussels Airlines:
Brussels — Abu Dhabi

Procedure: Brussels Airlines flight compensation from Brussels to Abu Dhabi

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Brussels and Abu Dhabi with Brussels Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 5 167 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Brussels Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

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.

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 Brussels Airlines Brussels - Abu Dhabi is eligible?

For an Brussels Airlines flight from Brussels to Abu Dhabi, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Brussels Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Brussels Airport, the 600 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Brussels Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Brussels Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Brussels - Abu Dhabi trip is due to an internal strike within Brussels Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 600 € is not payable due to an external strike at Brussels, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Brussels Airlines.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 600 €, if the delay stretches at Brussels Airport airport, Brussels Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Brussels Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
