Flight compensation Ethiopian Airlines:
Paris — Brussels

Ethiopian Airlines passengers Paris-Brussels: your guide to get compensated

If your journey from Charles de Gaulle International Airport to Brussels Airport operated by Ethiopian Airlines was disrupted, legal remedies exist when dealing with the carrier.

Given the route between Paris and Brussels (251 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Ethiopian Airlines. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

CE 261/2004 is one of the most advanced consumer protection frameworks in the world. All affected travellers would benefit from making use of it.
