Flight cancellation

from Shabbir Islam

When the passenger wanted to take his flight from Zagreb to Vienna in September 2015, he found out a few hours before departure that the flight had been canceled and that the alternative flight was only offered several hours later. As the airline did not respond to his complaint for six weeks, he contacted apf in order to receive compensation for himself and his two fellow passengers. He also informed us that the food vouchers issued by the airline could not be redeemed in the restaurants at the airport and that they therefore had to pay for their own drinks and snacks. The apf was able to mediate positively between the parties; the airline paid out 750 euros in compensation (250 euros per person) and 18 euros (six euros per person) to the complainants for the vouchers that could not be redeemed. If you are also affected by a flight cancellation, you can find out here what rights you have and what the airline must offer or pay you.

How does the apf go about mediating between the passenger and the airline?
Mediation is carried out by apf contacting the company after we have received your complaint. The airline will be given a brief description of the situation, the legal claims and informed that an arbitration procedure will be opened for clarification. The airline then has three weeks to respond to the apf. If both parties, i.e. you and the airline, accept the solution proposed by apf, they agree to a so-called effective out-of-court settlement. We have already established a very good working relationship with many airlines. This is the reason why in most cases apf achieves a quick solution within a few days.
