Regarding cancellations of flights to/from the Gulf region (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, etc.) due to the worsening situation in the Middle East, such circumstances are highly likely to be considered "Extraordinary Circumstances" under the EU261 regulation as they relate to conflict. For details, please contact your operating airline.

When a flight departing from or arriving in Europe is delayed or canceled, you can claim up to €600 in compensation per person based on EU rules. Not only EU residents, but all passengers globally have the right to claim this compensation.
At EU261.net, we recommend using Airhelp, the industry's largest compensation agency, to file your claim. This site thoroughly explains the EU261 regulation so that the process proceeds smoothly until you receive your compensation.
Please check the link below for detailed rules of the EU261 regulation.

Airlines often refuse to pay claims from individuals without specialized knowledge, citing extraordinary
circumstances (such as bad weather).
Because Airhelp utilizes a specialized legal team
based on actual flight data and past precedents, the probability of receiving compensation is significantly
higher than acting alone.
It is not realistic for an individual to file a lawsuit against an overseas airline, but Airhelp will
conditionally handle legal action on your behalf if necessary.
Airlines in regions
such as the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia often do not acknowledge the EU261 law and frequently
ignore individual claims; Airhelp serves as a strong backing in these cases.
Airhelp's fee structure is based on a "No Win, No Fee" model, meaning fees are only charged
when compensation is successfully received. If the claim is rejected, you do not have to pay any
costs.
Furthermore, you can seamlessly receive your compensation in your bank account.
With Airhelp, a standard service fee of 35% is deducted from the compensation amount paid by the airline. If
your claim is unsuccessful, there are no charges to you.
If the airline refuses to pay and Airhelp
takes further legal action through a lawyer, an additional 15% is added to the aforementioned 35%. In this
case, the total fee is 50% of the compensation.
This site is intended to explain and introduce Airhelp. Please rest assured that no additional fees beyond Airhelp's standard fees will be incurred even if you apply via the link on this site.
