Emirates Flight Cancellation Compensation

Regardless of where you are in the world when you find out of the cancellation of your flight, Emirates should provide you with a new flight or a full refund if your flight is canceled.

Since flight cancellations can cause significant disruptions to your travel plans, it's important to determine if you're entitled to receive compensation from Emirates for your canceled flight.

According to EU regulations, Emirates must pay passengers up to {ec261_compensation} per person for flight cancellations that occur at late notice, which is defined as any cancellation that happens less than 14 days before the scheduled departure time.

Exceptions:
Emirates will not be required to pay compensation if they can offer a replacement flight with a similar departure and arrival time to the original flight. For more detailed requirements, please see our flight cancellation compensation page.

Airlines are also exempt from paying compensation for flight cancellations resulting from extraordinary circumstances. This means that if there was an unforeseeable situation beyond the airline's control that forced the cancellation, such as bad weather or an air traffic control strike, Emirates is not required to provide compensation for the canceled flight.

How many flights were delayed today?

• Our latest data shows that over a 24-hour period, 149 Emirates flights were delayed 3 hours or more.

• Of 35 flights, 42.86% were delayed over 3 hours. That rate was 3.45% for international flights.

Because Emirates is based within the EU, almost all the flights they offer are protected by EC 261, one of the world's most comprehensive laws for air passenger rights.

EC Regulation 261 gives passengers the right to claim compensation when they have suffered delayed, canceled, or overbooked flights over which they are not at fault.

Passengers also have the right to seek compensation for earlier flights; it is often still possible to submit claims for flights in the last 3 years.
