Flight delays and cancellations in April 2025
April 2025 saw a significant number of flight delays and cancellations across Europe, affecting thousands of travellers. What many passengers don’t realise is that under EU Regulation 261/2004, they may be entitled to compensation of up to €600 — even if the disruption occurred weeks or months ago.
In this article, we highlight some of the most severely affected flights from April 2025. If you were on one of these and arrived at your destination late, you could still have a valid claim. In Germany, travellers have up to three years to assert their rights retroactively.
