Reimbursement and Compensation: Amaszonas Linea Aerea

While Amaszonas Linea Aerea isn't a European airline, whenever they fly in Europe they comply with European regulations. That is good news for any passenger affected by a flight cancellation, as a last-minute cancellation of a European departure may entitle them to a fair Amaszonas Linea Aerea compensation payout.

With any Amaszonas Linea Aerea flight cancellation, you'll be offered an alternative flight to your destination, or a full refund if that's what you'd prefer. But in addition, if your flight was canceled less than 14 days before you were due to depart a European airport, EU laws say passengers may be entitled to up to £510 per person in compensation.

If Amaszonas Linea Aerea was able to offer you an alternative flight that would land at a very similar time to your original, they won't have to pay you compensation. They would also be exempt from paying compensation if there were extraordinary circumstances which made the cancellation necessary. That means anything that is beyond the airline's control, for example, bad weather, a medical emergency, or some form of disruptive event affecting the airport.

Because there are these exceptions, the easiest way to check if you're owed Amaszonas Linea Aerea canceled flight compensation is to use our free compensation calculator.

If you've been on a late flight departing from a European airport, it's worth checking if you're owed Amaszonas Linea Aerea flight delay compensation. That's because under EU law, flights that are delayed by 3 hours or more might be eligible for up to £510 per person in compensation from their airline.

It doesn't matter where you were flying to — what does matter is your arrival time. For compensation, it is the time that you arrived in your destination that's significant, not the time that you took off. So even if you technically departed on time, if you arrived at your destination more than 3 hours late, you may be eligible for compensation.

One important exclusion is for those Amaszonas Linea Aerea flight delays that are caused by extraordinary circumstances. This refers to situations that are outside of the airline's control. Common examples are delays caused by bad weather or an air traffic control strike. Because the airline cannot prevent these delays, they shouldn't have to pay compensation for them.

But if the delay is due to something they can control — such as a strike by Amaszonas Linea Aerea staff, or a maintenance issue, then you're entitled to submit a flight delay compensation Amaszonas Linea Aerea claim.

Europe's air passenger rights, EC 261, are among the most comprehensive in the world. They are designed to ensure airlines like Amaszonas Linea Aerea take appropriate care of their passengers and compensate passengers fairly when their journeys are disrupted by flight delays, cancellations, or overbookings.

All passengers on a flight departing from a European airport are covered by EC 261. However, as Amaszonas Linea Aerea is not a European airline, they do not need to pay EC 261 compensation when they are flying outside of Europe, or even on flights to Europe if the departure airport is outside the EU.
