Flightright Press Area
Welcome to the press area of Flightright, the portal for air passenger rights and consumer protection. Here you will find contact details for our press contacts and an overview of our experts who are available for interviews. You also have access to our press releases and press material. We are happy to provide you with facts, figures and consumer tips on all aspects of air travel.
As the market-leading air passenger rights portal, we represent consumers vis-à-vis airlines when it comes to flight problems such as delays, cancellations and denied boarding. In doing so, we refer to the Air Passenger Rights Regulation 261/2004 (EC 261) and also take passengers to court to enforce claims for compensation and ticket refunds. In total, we have already enforced more than £615 million in compensation for our customers. Flightright was founded in 2010 by Dr Philipp Kadelbach and Dr Sven Bode and is now headed by Managing Director Dr Jan-Frederik Arnold.
2026: Another difficult year for air travellers
We assume that things will still not run smoothly at many European airports and airlines in 2026 and that passengers will have to be prepared for cancellations and delays. Although airlines and airports are trying to compensate for staff shortages and automate processes, flight operations will certainly not run smoothly. There is also a risk of further strikes in the aviation sector. If these strikes coincide with the holiday season, further flight chaos cannot be ruled out.
