I don’t have citizenship of EU member country. Can I claim airline compensation in case of denied boarding because of overbooking?

Last updated on November 6, 2018

Yes, all the passengers whose flight began inside the EU territory or landed in the EU territory (if the carrier is EU-registered airline) are protected by Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004. Passengers nationality has no influence. By the way, flights in Norway, Iceland and Switzerland are also included into this regulation. The best way to claim is to choose the airline claim company from our Best Companies list.
