Refund and reimbursement for Kuwait Airways: Geneva to Frankfurt

The endless wait at Geneva Cointrin International Airport towards Frankfurt with Kuwait Airways doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

Departing from Geneva Cointrin International Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 460 km determines the amount of your compensation. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Geneva Cointrin International Airport (GVA)
  • Arrival airport: Frankfurt am Main International Airport (FRA)
  • Flight distance: 460 km (~0h35)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This cornerstone regulation of EU transport law protects over 900 million journeys annually. Despite this, the vast majority never claim due to ignorance.

How to know if the flight Kuwait Airways Geneva - Frankfurt is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Frankfurt. If Kuwait Airways made you wait more than three hours at Frankfurt am Main International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Watch out for traps: Kuwait Airways might try to ask you to give up your rights. Don't accept anything before checking with a legal professional.

What are the conditions for Kuwait Airways to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Kuwait Airways compensation

A strike action by Kuwait Airways's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250€.

An specialist firm can easily identify whether the strike that impacted your Kuwait Airways Geneva→Frankfurt flight is an internal or external cause.

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

If Geneva Cointrin International Airport turns into your involuntary base because of Kuwait Airways, the law stipulates that your essential requirements must be covered by the carrier. Assistance is due from 2 hours for flights of this distance.

Your involuntary layover at Geneva must not cost you any additional money beyond your initial ticket for GVA-FRA. Even on a short route, hotel accommodation is owed for overnight delays.
