238,000 Flights Canceled in Europe Last Year

In 2024, more than 238,000 commercial flights were canceled across Europe, according to aviation data from Eurocontrol and national aviation authorities. That means over 50 million passengers experienced disrupted travel plans—yet surprisingly, only a small fraction of them filed for compensation. The vast majority either weren’t aware of their rights or found the claim process too confusing.

Under EU Regulation 261/2004, passengers whose flights were canceled with less than 14 days’ notice may be entitled to compensation of up to €600, depending on the flight distance and delay duration. Unfortunately, many travelers miss out on this opportunity due to lack of awareness or poor guidance from airlines.

SkySupportDesk exists to close that gap. We make it simple for air passengers to check their eligibility, submit a claim in minutes, and receive the compensation they deserve—all without upfront fees. If your flight was canceled in the past 3 years, you might still be eligible to claim.
