  • Arrival airport: Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
  • Flight distance: 5 907 km (~7h23)

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Brussels, the CE 261 applies equally.

  • 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 Jet Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Jet Airways compensation
