Ethiopian Airlines delayed or cancelled your flight? Claim what you're owed.
Delays, cancellations, denied boarding and downgrades on Ethiopian Airlines flights carry real cash compensation under EU261, UK261 or NCAR 2023, depending on where you departed. Check your flight free — we only get paid when you do.

With Ethiopian Airlines, the departure airport decides whether you have a claim we can bring. Departures from the EU, the UK or Nigeria are covered by EU261, UK261 or NCAR 2023 — fixed cash amounts that apply regardless of the airline's nationality. Routes that touch none of those countries fall under the Montreal Convention, which pays documented losses rather than a fixed sum; we don't pursue those, and we'll say so rather than take your claim and go quiet.
| Departing the EU/EEA (any destination) | €250 – €600 fixed |
| Departing the UK (any destination) | £220 – £520 fixed |
| Departing Nigeria | ₦75,000 – ₦250,000 fixed |
| Routes touching none of the above | Not a claim we pursue |
Compensation attaches to the departure airport. On a return trip that usually means the outbound leg qualifies and the inbound doesn't — check each leg separately.
If your route isn't covered, the Montreal Convention still makes Ethiopian Airlines liable for the documented losses its delay caused you — hotels, meals, missed connections, prepaid bookings. Those claims turn entirely on evidence, which is why we don't take them on a no-win-no-fee basis, but nothing stops you claiming: write to the airline with every receipt and a clear total.
