Flight compensation Iberia Airlines:
Barcelona — Kiev

Claim and compensation for flight Iberia Airlines Barcelona - Kiev

The BCN - IEV route operated by Iberia Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Barcelona and Kiev (2 400 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Iberia Airlines.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Iberia Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Barcelona - Kiev is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Kiev. If Iberia Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Kiev Zhuliany International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Kiev Zhuliany International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Barcelona International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Iberia Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Barcelona shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BCN-IEV trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Iberia Airlines?

Starting a procedure against Iberia Airlines for a flight from Barcelona to Kiev can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

On the BCN-IEV line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Iberia Airlines's legal department.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Barcelona - Kiev section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

An unfounded refusal from Iberia Airlines is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Iberia Airlines is often more striking.
