Flight compensation Ryanair:
East Midlands — Fuerteventura

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between East Midlands and Fuerteventura

The EMA - FUE route operated by Ryanair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from East Midlands Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 900 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from East Midlands Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at East Midlands Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.
