Exceptions:

These kind of situations are called extraordinary circumstances.

EC 261 is the EU regulation that covers situations like flight delays, cancellations, and overbookings. It lays out the care passengers can expect from airlines in the event of any of these disruptions, and it clearly states in what situations passengers are owed compensation.

Travelers are allowed to claim for past flights under EC 261 — often you can still claim for flights in the past 3 years.

The regulation applies to all flights that depart from a European airport, but as Eurowings is a European airline, passengers are given extra protection by EC 261, and flights into Europe are covered too, even when they depart from outside the EU.

Eurowings Europe is a low-cost carrier (LCC) based at Vienna International Airport that was founded by Deutsche Lufthansa AG. In 2015, the Lufthansa Group changed the name of the proposed carrier from EWAT GmbH to Eurowings Europe GmbH, stating that the new carrier will help the company's goals of expanding its LCC operations. Eurowings Europe operates a European regional network from its hub in Vienna, using a fleet of A320s. On June 23, 2016, Deutsche Lufthansa AG inaugurated Eurowings Europe's service operations with a Vienna-Alicante flight. Eurowings Europe will gradually take over some of Eurowings' flights in Vienna. The airline is a subsidiary of Deutsche Lufthansa AG's Eurowings Group.

The Lufthansa Group has announced plans to reposition Eurowings as a short-haul and point-to-point carrier, with long-haul operations being transferred to network operators within the airline group by the end of 2020.
