About SkyAid

How Your Virgin Australia Claim Works

Step 1: We verify your EU261 eligibility

Virgin Australia is an EU-regulated airline. Every flight departing from an EU or UK airport qualifies for EU261 protection automatically. SkyAid checks your flight number, delay duration, and route distance to calculate your exact compensation — €250, €400, or €600. No guesswork, no insurance needed.

Step 2: We check for Montreal Convention expenses

Most passengers stop at EU261. SkyAid also reviews your trip for Montreal Convention claims — missed hotels, wasted bookings, lost business, food and transport you paid out of pocket. These proven expenses can add up to €7,700 on top of your EU261 payment. Keep every receipt.

Step 3: We challenge extraordinary circumstances

Airlines reject valid claims by calling everything extraordinary circumstances. Technical faults, crew shortages, and operational failures are NOT extraordinary — EU courts have ruled on this repeatedly. SkyAid knows which defences hold up and which do not. If the airline is wrong, we pursue it.

Step 4: You get paid, we take our fee

SkyAid works on a no win, no fee basis with fees from 20%. If we recover nothing, you pay nothing. When we win, the compensation goes to your account and our fee is deducted. No upfront cost, no financial risk for you.
