Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Madras — Frankfurt

Claim and compensation for flight Lufthansa Cargo Madras - Frankfurt

If your trip departing from Chennai International Airport and arriving at Frankfurt am Main International Airport operated by Lufthansa Cargo was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 7 594 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Lufthansa Cargo is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Chennai International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Madras - Frankfurt is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Frankfurt. If Lufthansa Cargo made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Frankfurt am Main International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Madras, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo 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 Madras airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Lufthansa Cargo (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Lufthansa Cargo staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Chennai International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Chennai International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
