Legal compensation: Royal Jordanian flight Vienna - Amman

Flight cancelled on your Royal Jordanian flight Vienna ✈ Amman? This happens to thousands every month. Fortunately: compensation is available.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 2 449 km, Royal Jordanian is bound by a compensation obligation if boarding is denied.

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: Vienna International Airport (VIE)
  • Arrival airport: Queen Alia International Airport (AMM)
  • Flight distance: 2 449 km (~3h04)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Too few passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.

Be vigilant: Royal Jordanian might cite a disruption without clarifying whether it was its own staff or airport personnel. This distinction changes everything for your {case|right to 400€}.
