RwandAir Flight Compensation — EU261 & Montreal Convention Rights

RwandAir cancelled compensation: If your RwandAir flight was cancelled with less than 14 days notice, you are entitled to €250–€600 under EU261 depending on flight distance, plus Right to Care (meals, hotel, transport) regardless of the reason for cancellation. The Montreal Convention provides additional coverage of up to €7,700 for proven damages on international flights.

RwandAir delayed compensation: For delays of 3+ hours at arrival, EU261 entitles you to €250–€600. For delays of 2+ hours, Right to Care kicks in — meals, refreshments, hotel if overnight, and transport. The Montreal Convention covers up to €7,700 in proven damages for any international RwandAir delay.

RwandAir Compensation FAQ

How much RwandAir compensation can I get?

RwandAir is an EU-regulated airline, so all flights departing and arriving in the EU qualify for EU261 compensation: €250 for flights under 1,500km, €400 for 1,500–3,500km, and €600 for flights over 3,500km. On top of this, the Montreal Convention covers up to €7,700 in proven trip expenses — missed hotels, wasted tours, lost business meetings, food and transport costs. Both can be claimed simultaneously for a total recovery of over €8,300.

How many RwandAir flights have been disrupted recently?

In the last 90 days, RwandAir has recorded 58 flight disruptions — 0 cancellations and 0 delays. Every affected passenger may be entitled to RwandAir compensation. SkyAid checks your flight automatically.

What expenses can I claim for a RwandAir disruption?

Under the Montreal Convention, you can claim up to €7,700 for proven expenses caused by any international RwandAir flight disruption. This includes non-refundable hotel bookings, missed tours and events, wasted restaurant reservations, lost business meetings and conference fees, cruise departures, wedding costs, food, taxis, and phone calls. Keep all receipts — SkyAid claims these on top of your EU261 fixed compensation. See the full breakdown of claimable expenses.

What if RwandAir claims extraordinary circumstances?

Even when RwandAir invokes extraordinary circumstances (severe weather, war, security threats), your Right to Care is always guaranteed — meals, hotel, transport. EU261 fixed compensation may not apply, but the Montreal Convention still covers up to €7,700 in proven expenses regardless. SkyAid challenges these defences — technical faults and crew shortages are often NOT extraordinary under EU court rulings.

What happens if I missed my connection on RwandAir?

If you missed a connecting flight because RwandAir delayed your first leg, compensation is based on your total journey distance (origin to final destination), not individual segments. This often means a higher payout than you expect. You also get free rebooking, Right to Care while waiting, and Montreal Convention expenses up to €7,700.

What does SkyAid charge for RwandAir claims?

No win, no fee. SkyAid charges from 20% of the compensation recovered. If we do not win your RwandAir claim, you pay nothing. No upfront costs, no hidden fees. We handle all communication with RwandAir and any legal proceedings on your behalf. See our fee structure.
