Flight compensation Ukraine International Airlines:
Amsterdam — Kiev

Legal right: Ukraine International Airlines flight between Amsterdam and Kiev

The route AMS - KBP by Ukraine International Airlines was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

Given the route between Amsterdam and Kiev (1 819 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Ukraine International Airlines. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.

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.

This is not a goodwill gesture from Ukraine International Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Ukraine International Airlines Amsterdam - Kiev is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ukraine International Airlines offers you a travel credit for your Amsterdam → Kiev flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 400€ provided by law.

An upgrade or downgrade doesn't affect your right to 400€ if the original incident qualifies under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

What are the conditions for Ukraine International Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kiev.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Amsterdam airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ukraine International Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Ukraine International Airlines compensation

A work stoppage by Ukraine International Airlines's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to airport staff, Ukraine International Airlines is exempted from the obligation to pay the 400€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.
