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.

  • Arrival airport: Esbjerg Airport (EBJ)
  • Flight distance: 44 km (~0h03)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

How to know if the flight DAT Danish Air Transport Billund - Esbjerg is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Esbjerg Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, DAT Danish Air Transport owes you 250 €.

The impact of a strike on your DAT Danish Air Transport compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Esbjerg Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Billund Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.
