Legal right: Hainan Airlines flight between Gothenborg and Berlin

You travelled with Hainan Airlines from Gothenborg to Berlin and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Don't miss this opportunity: the Hainan Airlines flight Gothenborg - Berlin (571 km) qualifies you for 250€ per person under CE 261/2004.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (GOT)
  • Arrival airport: Berlin-Tegel International Airport (TXL)
  • Flight distance: 571 km (~0h43)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Good to know? Even if Hainan Airlines is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

How to know if the flight Hainan Airlines Gothenborg - Berlin is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Berlin|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Hainan Airlines is responsible for|the fault lies with} Hainan Airlines.

An class change doesn't change your right to 250€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

What are the conditions for Hainan Airlines to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Gothenborg, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Hainan Airlines compensation

In practice, pilot strikes at Hainan Airlines are situations where {compensation is almost certain|your chances of getting 250€ are high}. Experts know this and can use it for your case.

Even if the 250€ are not payable due to an external strike at Gothenborg, assistance (meals/hotel) stays the responsibility of Hainan Airlines. This is a separate right.

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

During those long hours in the terminal at Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport, know that Hainan Airlines has a legal obligation to ensure your comfort. This covers meals, but also the right to free communications free of charge.

The complete chain of care comprises: drinks and snacks, full meals proportionate to the wait, calls or emails, and hotel with shuttles if an overnight stay is needed. All of this paid by Hainan Airlines.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Hainan Airlines?

To get started: submit a written complaint to Hainan Airlines's claims department explicitly citing Regulation CE 261/2004 and {the 250€ amount|your specific claim}.

By delegating your GOT→TXL case to specialist partners, you enjoy the "No Win, No Fee" principle (no cost if unsuccessful).

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

The irony: the longer Hainan Airlines stalls paying your 250€, the more the total amount can increase with interest. Experts know this to speed up settlement.

By opting for a platform with no upfront costs, you have nothing to lose. If the 250€ case fails, you pay nothing. It's that simple.

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

Don't believe Hainan Airlines's letter stating that Gothenborg's airport was hit by weather without checking official reports.

If you are confident of your eligibility, you can approach the national aviation body of the departure country, or better still, escalate the case to court with a specialist legal counsel.
