How much compensation can you receive?
Eligible passengers may receive between €250 and €600 depending on the flight distance and the circumstances of the disruption.
Passenger rights under EU261
Passengers may have rights under EU261 when a Saudia flight departs from an EU or EEA airport and arrives at least three hours late, is cancelled at short notice or results in a missed connection, provided the disruption was within the airline's control.
When are you entitled to compensation?
EU261 generally applies only to Saudia flights departing from EU or EEA airports. Flights departing from Saudi Arabia or other non-EU countries to the EU are generally not covered because Saudia is not an EU airline.
