Your rights in the event of a delayed or cancelled Dan Air flight
If your Dan Air flight is delayed or cancelled, you have certain passenger rights and may be entitled to compensation under Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004, known as EU261. The regulation protects passengers travelling with EU airlines or departing from the EU.
If you were flying with Dan Air from or to the UK, you may be eligible for compensation under the UK's version of EU261, 'The Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019'. This regulation provides protection for UK air passengers similar to EU261 and was enacted after Brexit to ensure that UK passengers continue to have access to similar levels of protection.
Was your Dan Air flight delayed? If you arrived at your final destination at least 3 hours late, you are most likely entitled to flight compensation.
Was your Dan Air flight cancelled? If you did not take an alternative flight offered by the airline, you are entitled to a refund. Additionally, if the flight was cancelled fewer than 14 days before departure, you might be entitled to cancelled Dan Air flight compensation.
Regardless of the flight disruption or its cause, airlines must provide passengers with special assistance, known as the "right to care.” This includes: food and beverage vouchers, communication services, and, if needed, accommodations and transportation. You can claim those directly at the airline’s service desk at the airport, if the airline refuses to give you a voucher, just go and buy what you need — they will have to pay you back those expenses (as long as they are reasonable).
Warning: If your flight was delayed or cancelled because of an “extraordinary circumstance”, you won’t be entitled to flight compensation as the airline needs to be responsible for the flight disruption to provide compensation to passengers.
I am travelling outside of the UK/EU with Dan Air. Am I still eligible for compensation?
Since Dan Air is a Romanian airline, your rights are protected under the EU261 regulation. If your flight departed from the UK, your rights will also be protected under British regulations.
See the table below for some examples:
Type of flight | Example | Compensation |
---|---|---|
Flying with a British carrier | Tokyo to London with British Airways | Yes |
Flying with a EU carrier | Amsterdam to London with KLM | Yes |
Flying with a non-UK/non-EU carrier from the UK | London to Tokyo with Japan Airlines | Yes |
Flying with a non-UK/non-EU carrier to the UK | Tokyo to London with Japan Airlines | No |

What if Dan Air offered me a voucher? Should I accept it?

The voucher may have an expiration date or may be subject to certain restrictions and blackout dates, which may make it difficult for you to use.
By accepting the voucher, you may be waiving your right to claim compensation in cash, which may be a better option for you.
In the event that the airline goes bankrupt, you may no longer be able to use your unused voucher to get your money back.

Dan Air flight overbooked – am I also entitled to compensation and refund?
If you were bumped off a flight with Dan Air due to overbooking, you may be entitled to compensation and/or a full refund.
According to British and EU regulations, Dan Air must find alternative travel arrangements for the affected passengers. If the airline is unable to provide alternative travel arrangements, then they must offer you a full ticket refund.
If an alternative flight is provided but causes you to arrive at the destination 3 hours later than the original flight arrival time, you may be entitled to compensation in accordance with the flight delay compensation policies.
Extraordinary circumstances — can Dan Air deny me compensation?
Flight disruptions can happen for many reasons, and some are beyond the control of the airline. In such cases, airlines are not legally required to provide compensation to passengers. These situations are referred to as "extraordinary circumstances."
Examples of extraordinary circumstances where Dan Air can reject your claim include:
Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.
A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).
However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!
Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.
Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.
A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.
An ill or unruly passenger.
Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.
