How to be compensated by Yangon Airways on the Duesseldorf (DUS) - Gran Canaria (LPA) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Duesseldorf and Gran Canaria with Yangon Airways? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 3 190 km of flight, the company Yangon Airways is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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: Dusseldorf International Airport (DUS)
  • Arrival airport: Gran Canaria Airport (LPA)
  • Flight distance: 3 190 km (~3h59)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Yangon Airways Duesseldorf - Gran Canaria is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Gran Canaria Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Yangon Airways owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Yangon Airways DUS-LPA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Duesseldorf.

What are the conditions for Yangon Airways to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Duesseldorf, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Yangon Airways compensation

A work stoppage of Yangon Airways crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

A strike by weather services at Dusseldorf International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Yangon Airways has no control.

What are your rights at Duesseldorf airport in case of prolonged wait?

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Yangon Airways must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Duesseldorf.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Dusseldorf International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Yangon Airways?

Getting justice against carrier Yangon Airways requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.
