Flight Compensation Services Operating Under EU and UK Aviation Rules
What happened
AirHelp offers legal services to passengers traveling in Europe. Under EU EC261 or UK UK261 rules, passengers may receive compensation of up to €600 or £520, respectively, if an airline is at fault for incidents such as delays of three hours or more, short-notice cancellations, or overbooking. Flight compensation companies step in to file claims and recover money owed to passengers.
