Which Flights are Covered by EC 261?

Looking into Toulouse Blagnac Airport cancellations brings up a whole range of questions for affected travellers. Under EU law, airlines must take care of their passengers, but must also get them to their intended destination, assuming the passenger still wishes to travel.

Additionally, if the airline canceled your flight less than 2 weeks before you were due to fly, you may be owed up to €600 as well.

Passengers should be aware that there are some exceptions under EU law. One example is if Toulouse Blagnac Airport had to cancel flights for a reason that was outside of the airline's control. That is classified as extraordinary circumstances and the airline won't have to pay compensation. Typical examples of extraordinary circumstances include dangerous weather conditions at Toulouse Blagnac Airport, or a strike by air traffic control.

That's why it's so important passengers are aware that they may have the right to compensation — up to €600 per person, under EU law.

Although passengers on delayed flights from Toulouse Blagnac Airport will be counting down the hours until takeoff, when it comes to claiming compensation, it's the delay getting to your destination airport that's important.
