Compensation & claim for Kenya Airways: Paris to Nairobi

A cancellation on Kenya Airways Paris → Nairobi qualifies you for up to 600€. Check how to claim.

Leaving Charles de Gaulle International Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 6 495 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. With over 3500 km, you qualify for the maximum tier.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, making Regulation 261/2004 a powerful tool against failings by carriers like Kenya Airways.
