Refund and compensation Croatia Airlines: route Copenhagen to Zagreb

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

By taking off from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 124 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Croatia Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Croatia Airlines Copenhagen - Zagreb is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Copenhagen and Zagreb entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 1 124 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Croatia Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Croatia Airlines compensation

A work stoppage of Croatia Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Croatia Airlines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Copenhagen Kastrup 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.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Copenhagen remains valid. The hotel is due if Croatia Airlines offsets your flight by one night.
