Get your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight compensation for the route Kuwait - Amsterdam

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 4 355 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Kuwait - Amsterdam is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines owes you 600 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Kuwait 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 Kuwait 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, 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 Kuwait International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 600 € will not be due.
