Cancelled Israir flight — refund and compensation rules 

If your Israir flight is cancelled, you may be eligible for compensation of up to £520, a ticket refund, or a combination of both, contingent on the particular circumstances.

When can I claim compensation for my cancelled Israir flight?

You can claim compensation if your Israir flight was canceled within 14 days before the initially scheduled departure date. It's essential to note that Israir must be at fault for the cancellation for you to be eligible for compensation. Additional information can be found in the "Extraordinary Circumstances" section of this article.

When can I claim a refund for my cancelled Israir flight?

If an Israir flight is cancelled, you have the entitlement to a refund if you opt not to accept the airline's substitute flight. Moreover, you can request a refund if Israir doesn't provide you with any alternative flight choice at all.

Cancellation notice	Alternative flight	Compensation
Fewer than 7 days in advance	Departs 1h+ earlier or arrived 2h+ later	Yes
7-14 days in advance	Departs 2h+ earlier or arrived 4h+ later	Yes
Fewer than 14 days in advance	No alternative flight offered	Yes + refund

How much Israir compensation can I get for a delayed or cancelled flight?

The amount of compensation depends on the distance of your flight:

Distance of your flight	Compensation
Flights shorter than 1,500 km	Get £220 per passenger
Flight between 1,500 and 3,500 km	Get £350 per passenger
Flights of over 1,500 kilometres within the EU	Get £350 per passenger
Flights of over 3,500 kilometres outside of the EU	Get £520 per passenger

I was flying with Israir to a non-EU/non-UK country. Can I still claim compensation?

Please note that Israir, being an Israeli airline, makes only flights departing from Europe eligible for flight compensation under EU regulations. More information on the table below.

Type of flight	Example	Compensation
Flying with a British carrier	Tokyo to London with British Airways	Yes
Flying with a EU carrier	Amsterdam to London with KLM	Yes
Flying with a non-UK/non-EU carrier from the UK	London to Tokyo with Japan Airlines	Yes
Flying with a non-UK/non-EU carrier to the UK	Tokyo to London with Japan Airlines	No

Extraordinary circumstances — can Israir deny me compensation?

When a delay or cancellation is the result of a third party or a force majeure event, Israir has the discretion to decline compensation, and these situations are typically known as 'extraordinary circumstances.'

Some of the most commonly encountered extraordinary circumstances include:

• Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.

• A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).

  However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!

• Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.

• Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

• A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.

• An ill or unruly passenger.

• Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.
  

Keep in mind, airlines may sometimes wrongly claim extraordinary circumstances to avoid compensation. Our legal experts are here to assist you. Submitting a claim with Flight-Delayed.co.uk is quick and easy. We operate on a 'no win, no fee' basis, so there's no financial risk for you

For flights not involving the United Kingdom in their route, please be mindful that distinct local regulations may apply in each country.
