You can only claim and receive compensation for the cancelled flight if your flight started in non-EU country, but the airlines must be registered in EU. And, of course, other Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004 requirements must be accomplished, such as the flight must arrive more than 3 hours later and the reason for cancellation can’t be extraordinary circumstances in order to receive cancelled flight compensation. You may also check how much you are entitled to compensation with the help of our Compensation Calculator.
