Flight Canceled or Delayed by Ethiopian Airlines? You Could Claim Up to €600

If your Ethiopian Airlines flight was disrupted due to reasons within the airline’s control — such as technical problems, crew shortages, or overbooking — you are protected under EU Regulation 261/2004 and can claim compensation.

Here’s when you qualify:
Flight Cancellation

 You’re eligible if Ethiopian Airlines cancels your flight and does not notify you at least 14 days before departure.

Long Delay

 If your arrival at the final destination is delayed by 3 hours or more, you may claim compensation.

Denied Boarding (Overbooking)

If you are denied boarding due to an overbooked Ethiopian Airlines flight, you also qualify for compensation.

When Are You NOT Entitled to Compensation?

Not every disruption qualifies for compensation. You generally cannot claim if the cause was beyond Ethiopian Airlines’ control, such as:

These are considered “extraordinary circumstances,” and the airline is not held liable for the resulting delays or cancellations.

Tip: If a major weather event or known strike affects your route, contact Ethiopian Airlines as early as possible to arrange rebooking options.
