Important: EU261 compensation (€250–€600) may be reduced or not applicable if the airline proves extraordinary circumstances (e.g. severe weather, war, security threats, air traffic control strikes). However, your Right to Care is always guaranteed regardless of extraordinary circumstances — airlines must provide meals, hotel accommodation, transport, and communication during any disruption. The Montreal Convention (up to €7,700) also applies to all international flights for proven damages with receipts, independent of extraordinary circumstances. SkyAid assesses every available compensation route for your claim.

How Your Air New Zealand Claim Works

Step 1: We identify which laws protect your flight

Air New Zealand operates worldwide. When your flight departs from an EU or UK airport, EU261 or UK261 gives you €250–€600 in fixed compensation. For all other international routes, the Montreal Convention is your primary protection — up to €7,700 for proven expenses. SkyAid checks every available route.

Step 2: We calculate your total recovery

The Montreal Convention covers what you actually lost — non-refundable hotels, missed events, wasted tours, business meeting losses, food and transport costs. No travel insurance needed. This is international law that applies to every international flight regardless of where it departs. Keep all receipts.

Step 4: You get paid, we take our fee

No win, no fee. Fees from 20%. Zero upfront cost. When we recover your compensation and expenses, payment goes to your account. If we do not win, you owe nothing. That is how confident we are in your claim.
