If you’ve experienced flight delays or cancellations with Egyptair, you may be entitled to receive up to {ec261compensation} in compensation per person.
Egyptair’s latest on-time performance data reveals that out of 32 flight departures in the last 24 hours, 25.00% departed on time.
Regardless of whether you're at home or abroad when you find out about your Egyptair flight cancellation, you're going to have a lot of questions and concerns. The first thing to know is that Egyptair 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 Egyptair cancelled flight compensation to help make up for the disruption.
Under UK and EU regulations, Egyptair should pay passengers up to {ec261compensation} 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:
Egyptair 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 Egyptair flight cancellation compensation owed. Typical examples include bad weather or a strike by air traffic control.
Whenever you're kept waiting by Egyptair flight delays, it's worth checking whether you're entitled to compensation for your time. If Egyptair is responsible for the delay, both UK and EU regulations say that passengers are owed up to {ec261compensation} per person when they're delayed by 3 hours or more.
When you're claiming flight delay compensation, Egyptair will check what time the flight arrived at the final destination. That's because for flight delay claims it is the time that you arrived that is important, not the time of departure. AirHelp owns one of the most comprehensive databases of flight stats available, so we can always back up Egyptair flight delay compensation claims with the exact delay time.
Exceptions:
Airlines like Egyptair do not have to pay out compensation if there's some external reason for the delay. That means delays caused by bad weather, an incident at the airport, or air traffic control strikes are not eligible for compensation. These kind of situations are called extraordinary circumstances.

Because Egyptair has its headquarters within the EU, almost all the flights they offer are protected by EC 261, one of the world's most comprehensive air passenger rights laws. Additionally, you may be covered by the equivalent UK passenger rights law, so called "UK 261", depending on the flight.
The EC 261 regulation gives passengers the right to claim for compensation when they have suffered delayed, cancelled or overbooked flights, which are no fault of their own. Passengers are also entitled to claim for past flights — often you can still claim for flights in the past 3 years.
