- Long delay;
- Cancelled flight;
- Denied boarding;
- Downgrading;
- Infringement of the rights of disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility.
In the above mentioned cases, the passenger should first contact the airline or, for issues related to disabled persons or persons with reduced mobility, the airport. If the passenger is not satisfied with their response, or if he/she hasn’t received any response within 8 weeks of delivery, a complaint can be filed with the Slovenian Civil Aviation Agency or other Member State’s National Enforcement Body (NEB). Complaints should in principle be filed in the country where the incident took place. If the incident took place at the airport outside the EU, a complaint can be filed to the NEB in the Member State of flight destination.
A list of National Enforcement Bodies and further information on EU passenger rights can be found at: https://transport.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2021-09/2004_261_national_enforcement_bodies.pdf
FOR FLIGHTS OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED ABOVE, PASSENGERS SHALL FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE ACTUAL AIRLINE (form on the airline's website).
