The stress of a cancellation at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport towards Baghdad with Maastricht Airlines gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

The legal coverage under CE 261/2004 applies by law when Maastricht Airlines breaches its duties on the 3 510 km route from Stockholm to Baghdad.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Arrival airport: Baghdad (BGW)
  • Flight distance: 3 510 km (~4h23)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

This key legislation of European aviation rights covers nearly a billion passengers every year. Yet, over 85% don't bother because they don't know their rights.

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