Eindhoven Airport will also compensate travelers who have missed their flight due to long queues for security checks. Earlier on Thursday, Schiphol Airport announced that it would do this, following agreements about this with the Consumers’ Association and Omroep MAX.
Travelers can, among other things, request reimbursement for the costs they have incurred when rebooking a flight. This may also include expenditure on meals or drinks, for example, while waiting for a later flight.
Eindhoven Airport also wants to compensate stranded travelers for costs they have incurred if they traveled to their destination by another means of transport. Additional expenses to travel again to the Brabant airport or another airport are also covered by the scheme.
May 25 to August 11
For the time being, travelers can request financial compensation for costs incurred between 23 May and Thursday 11 August. They are entitled to this if they were at the airport at least 2.5 hours before departure and still missed their flight.
Affected passengers have until September 30 to submit a request. Travelers who have already requested compensation do not need to do so again.
