Flight compensation Brussels Airlines:
Brussels — Cairo

Refund and compensation Brussels Airlines: route Brussels to Cairo

The BRU - CAI route operated by Brussels Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Brussels and Cairo (3 209 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Brussels Airlines.

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 Brussels Airlines.

How to know if the flight Brussels Airlines Brussels - Cairo is eligible?

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Brussels, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Brussels Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Cairo.
• 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

Don't be fooled by Brussels Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 400 € 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?

During these long hours of waiting in the Brussels Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Brussels shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BRU-CAI trip.

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