Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Belgrade — Charleroi

CE 261 compensation: Wizz Air flight Belgrade - Charleroi

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Wizz Air failed to meet its timetable for your Belgrade → Charleroi flight, EU law backs you up.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 1 340 km, Wizz Air is bound by a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Wizz Air from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Belgrade - Charleroi is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Brussels South Charleroi Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Wizz Air must pay you 250€.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Wizz Air segment Belgrade-Charleroi causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

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