How to be compensated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines on the Delhi (DEL) - Amsterdam (AMS) line

From Indira Gandhi International Airport airport, your departure with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to Amsterdam didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 6 363 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

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 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Delhi - Amsterdam is eligible?

For an KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight from Delhi to Amsterdam, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Indira Gandhi International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 600 €.

What are the conditions for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Delhi - Amsterdam trip is due to an internal strike within KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Indira Gandhi International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has no control.

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

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

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Indira Gandhi International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
