Cancelled Ukraine International Airlines flight Vilnius ✈ Kiev: claim your compensation

Did you experience a major disruption on your journey from Vilnius to Kiev with Ukraine International Airlines? A lengthy delay, a cancelled flight or denied boarding can throw your trip into chaos.

Your compensation amount doesn't depend on the ticket price. Only the distance of 609 km dictates the indemnity under EU law.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

Airlines like Ukraine International Airlines rely on passengers not knowing to dodge these payouts. Don't make it easy by asserting your rights now.
