Flight compensation Hainan Airlines:

Get your Hainan Airlines flight compensation for the route Brussels - Madrid

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Brussels and Madrid with Hainan Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 316 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Hainan Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

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 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 - Madrid is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Madrid Barajas International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Hainan Airlines owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Hainan Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Brussels Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Hainan Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Madrid.
• 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

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

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Brussels, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Hainan Airlines.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Hainan Airlines must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Brussels.

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.
