Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Nagoya — Frankfurt

Legal right to compensation: Lufthansa Cargo flight between Nagoya and Frankfurt

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

By taking off from Chubu Centrair International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 9 293 km determines your legal compensation level.

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, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Lufthansa Cargo.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Nagoya - 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.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 600 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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 Nagoya 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

A work stoppage of Lufthansa Cargo crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 600 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Lufthansa Cargo is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Chubu Centrair International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Lufthansa Cargo, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

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