Germania passengers Erbil-Munich: what to do to file a claim

The flight EBL → MUC by Germania suffered an incident? Delay, cancellation or overbooking, you may be entitled to a legal payout.

Given the distance between Erbil and Munich (2 940 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by Germania. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.

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.

• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Erbil airport.

The impact of a strike on your Germania compensation

The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Germania's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.

The key question is invariably: which staff stopped work? If {the answer is yes|it's Germania's employees}, {you're entitled to 400€|compensation is owed}. If it's a third party, only care remains.

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