How to be compensated by Maastricht Airlines on the Keflavik (KEF) - Copenhagen (CPH) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Keflavik and Copenhagen with Maastricht Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 144 km of flight, the company Maastricht Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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: Keflavik International Airport (KEF)
  • Arrival airport: Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (CPH)
  • Flight distance: 2 144 km (~2h41)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 Maastricht Airlines Keflavik - Copenhagen is eligible?

For an Maastricht Airlines flight from Keflavik to Copenhagen, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Keflavik International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Maastricht Airlines to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Copenhagen.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Keflavik airport.

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

The impact of a strike on your Maastricht Airlines compensation

A work stoppage of Maastricht Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

A strike by weather services at Keflavik International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Maastricht Airlines has no control.

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

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

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Keflavik International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Maastricht Airlines?

The amicable route with Maastricht Airlines to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Maastricht Airlines. An expert can reduce this time by half.

By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.
