Aerolineas Argentinas Flight Delay and Cancellation Compensation

If you’ve experienced a flight delay, cancellation, or boarding denial with Aerolíneas Argentinas in the last three years, you may be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation EC 261/2004. This guide outlines your passenger rights and explains how FlyNero can help you claim what you’re owed.

Aerolíneas Argentinas is Argentina’s flag carrier and the country’s largest airline. Founded in 1949 and operating since 1950, it has been a member of the SkyTeam alliance since 2012. Although it’s not a European airline, flights departing from EU airports fall under EU air passenger rights regulations.

Flight Delay Compensation with Aerolíneas Argentinas

You may be eligible for compensation if:

• Your flight arrived at the final destination over 3 hours late.
• The flight departed from an EU airport.
• The delay was due to issues within the airline’s control, such as technical failures or staff shortages.
• No suitable alternative flight was offered within a reasonable timeframe.

Flight Cancellation Compensation Criteria

You may qualify for compensation if:

• The flight was canceled less than 14 days before departure.
• The flight departed from an EU airport.
• The cause of cancellation was not extraordinary (e.g. not due to extreme weather or political unrest).
• No alternative flight was provided that met EU timing requirements.

Denied Boarding Compensation

You can claim compensation, usually between €250 and €600, if:

• You were denied boarding against your will, often due to overbooking.
• You arrived on time, had valid travel documents, and met all conditions.
• The flight departed from an EU airport, or arrived in the EU and was operated by an EU airline.

Lost, Damaged, or Delayed Baggage Compensation

Under the Montreal Convention, you may be entitled to compensation if:

• Baggage is lost and not recovered within 21 days.
• Baggage is damaged and you report it at the airport immediately via a Property Irregularity Report (PIR).
• Baggage is delayed, and you incur costs for essential items while waiting.

The maximum compensation is 1,288 Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) — around €1,500 — based on the extent of the loss and proof of item value.

When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation

You are not eligible for compensation in the following scenarios:

• Flight delay is less than 3 hours.
• You received cancellation notice more than 14 days in advance.
• The disruption was due to extraordinary circumstances, such as extreme weather, political instability, or air traffic control strikes.

Compensation Amounts Based on Flight Distance

According to EU rules, compensation is determined as follows:

• Up to 1,500 km: €250
• 1,500 to 3,500 km: €400
• Over 3,500 km (if delay exceeds 4 hours): €600
