How to claim your money from Brussels Airlines on Delhi (DEL) → Brussels (BRU)

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Brussels Airlines didn't honour its scheduled times for your Delhi - Brussels flight, the law is on your side.

The good news is, for this journey of 6 399 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Brussels Airlines to provide financial compensation. 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: Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL)
  • Arrival airport: Brussels Airport (BRU)
  • Flight distance: 6 399 km (~7h60)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

Too few travellers claim what they're owed (less than 15% on average). Don't let this money go unclaimed: the process, despite its complexity, is an absolute right for every passenger.

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

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Brussels Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Brussels Airlines must pay you 600€.

In summary: three situations trigger the 600€ payment on Brussels Airlines Delhi-Brussels: late arrival over 180 minutes, last-minute cancellation, or involuntary denied boarding. Determine your situation right now.

What are the conditions for Brussels Airlines to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Brussels.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Delhi airport.

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

The impact of a strike on your Brussels Airlines compensation

Remember that the burden of proof lies with Brussels Airlines. It is up to the airline to prove that the delay of your Delhi→Brussels flight was caused by a genuinely extraordinary event.

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

The duty of assistance is a essential provision of the EU text. Independently of the 600€ question, if the delay extends at Indira Gandhi International Airport, Brussels Airlines must distribute meal vouchers.

Don't forget to demand a official attestation from Brussels Airlines staff at Indira Gandhi International Airport. This certificate is indispensable for your case later on.

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

The win rate of expert platforms against Brussels Airlines reaches 95-98% when the case is well-founded. This demonstrates the power of EU law against airline stalling tactics.
