Ethiopian Airlines Flight Cancellation Compensation

Regardless of whether you're at home or abroad when you find out about your Ethiopian Airlines flight cancellation, you're going to have a lot of questions and concerns. The first thing to know is that Ethiopian Airlines should find you a new flight, or offer you a full refund.

But because flight cancellations almost always play havoc with your travel plans, you should check whether you're also entitled to claim Ethiopian Airlines canceled flight compensation to help make up for the disruption.

Under EU regulations, Ethiopian Airlines should pay passengers up to £520 per person when they cancel flights at late notice — that is, any flight cancellation less than 14 days before it was due to depart.

Exceptions:
Ethiopian Airlines will not have to pay compensation if they were able to offer a replacement flight with similar departure and arrival times to the original. You can check the exact requirements on our flight cancellation compensation page.

Airlines also don't have to pay compensation if extraordinary circumstances were at play. That means that if an unusual situation occurred that was outside of the airline's control but forced a cancellation, there's no Ethiopian Airlines flight cancellation compensation owed. Typical examples include bad weather or a strike by air traffic control.

Figuring out how much you are owed for a disrupted flight can be complicated. We're here to help. Let us assess your compensation for you.
