AirAsia X flight delayed or cancelled? What you can claim

AirAsia X is based in Malaysia. Under SHY-YOLCU, a long delay, a late cancellation or being bumped on AirAsia X can be worth up to €600 per passenger.

Which rules cover AirAsia X

  • EU261€250–€600

    AirAsia X flights that leave the EU, Iceland, Norway or Switzerland. Its flights into the EU from elsewhere are not covered, because AirAsia X is not an EU airline.

  • UK261£220–£520

    AirAsia X flights that leave the UK (not its flights into the UK).

  • SHY-YOLCU€250–€600

    AirAsia X flights that leave Turkey.

Amounts are per passenger and depend on the flight distance.

Not owed when the cause was outside the airline’s control: bad weather, air traffic control, security, strikes by airport staff. Technical faults and the airline’s own staff usually are its responsibility.

How to claim from AirAsia X

Write to the airline with your booking reference, flight number and date and ask for compensation under Article 7 of Regulation 261/2004. If they refuse or don’t answer within about six weeks, complain to the national enforcement body of the country you flew from, or use a claim service.

Keep your booking reference, boarding pass and receipts for meals, hotels or taxis while you waited. Every passenger on the booking, children with a seat included, can claim the full amount.

The claim services we work with take EU and UK cases; on this airline’s routes here you claim from the airline directly, which is free.
