Air India Flight Delays Compensation
Airlines do their best to respect their initial schedule - but that doesn’t prevent them from arriving late from time to time. While some delays are minors, those above 3 hours are particularly annoying for their passengers. ClaimCompass seeks to turn that bad experience into a better one by helping travellers who suffered from such a delay get up to 600€ in compensation for their trouble.
The EU law on passenger rights states that in cases of long flight delays, airlines must pay compensation to their passengers. However, if the delay was caused by circumstances out of Air India’s control, then the airline doesn’t have to pay.
The amount of your compensation varies according to the distance of your journey, from 250€ to 600€. You can use our Compensation Calculator to determine the flight delay compensation you are entitled to in less than 2 minutes. All we need is your flight number, itinerary, and a few more info.

Air India Flight Cancellation Compensation
Some of Air India’s flights are also cancelled, leaving passengers into even more trouble. The airline isn’t always responsible, of course - in some cases, the decision is out of their control. But when Air India is responsible, passengers are once again entitled to compensation for flight cancallation.
In the event of the cancellation of one of their flight, the airline is required to let the passengers know at least 14 days prior to departure. If Air India failed to do so and was responsible for the cancellation, you may be entitled to compensation under EC261.
Don’t forget that if the airline cancels your flight, they also have to offer you a choice between a rebooking on an alternate flight to your destination as soon as possible (provided that seats are available) or the refund of your ticket. That’s independent of your right to compensation.
When it comes to processing flight compensation claims, the performance of Air India can be qualified as average. You can take a look at the table below to get an idea of how fast they deal with compensation claims:
