Flight compensation Hainan Airlines:
Brussels — Beijing

Procedure: Hainan Airlines flight compensation from Brussels to Beijing

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Hainan Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Brussels - Beijing flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 7 945 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Hainan Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

The compensation for flight BRU-PEK is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Brussels Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 600 €.

What are the conditions for Hainan Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Beijing.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Brussels airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Hainan Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Hainan Airlines compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Hainan Airlines staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Brussels Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 600 € will not be due.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 600 €, if the delay stretches at Brussels Airport airport, Hainan Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Brussels Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Hainan Airlines?

The amicable route with Hainan Airlines to recover 600 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Hainan Airlines flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Hainan Airlines customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

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

The first refusal from Hainan Airlines should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

For your 600 €, don't compromise with Hainan Airlines without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Brussels.
