Which arbitration body is responsible for Eurowings?

Eurowings takes part in the conciliation scheme run by the Schlichtungsstelle Reise & Verkehr.

A conciliation proposal only becomes binding once both sides accept it. Going to court remains possible either way.

Before that you must raise the claim directly with the airline and allow it two months to respond — unless it has already rejected the claim.

Frequently Asked Questions about Eurowings

May I be entitled to compensation from Eurowings?
If your Eurowings flight was delayed by at least 3 hours, cancelled, or you were denied boarding, you may be entitled to up to 600 EUR compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004.
How do I file a complaint with Eurowings?
You can contact Eurowings directly or through their contact page. Alternatively, we generate a legally sound complaint letter from just EUR 10.
How long does Eurowings take to respond?
There is no single EU-wide response deadline — in practice most airlines reply within a few weeks. If Eurowings does not respond or rejects your claim, you can escalate to the relevant national enforcement body or an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) entity. How long you have to wait first depends on the country: eight weeks in the UK, two months in Germany, 30 days in Poland.
Does EU261 apply to Eurowings flights outside the EU?
EU261 applies to all flights departing from the EU, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein or Switzerland — regardless of which airline operates them. For flights from a third country into the EU, it applies only if the operating airline holds an operating licence from one of those states. What counts is that licence, not the company's headquarters — for groups with several airlines the two can differ. Eurowings holds such a licence, so flights into the EU are covered as well.
What does the complaint letter service cost?
Our service costs a flat fee from EUR 10 per letter — no success fee, no hidden costs. For comparison: AirHelp charges 35% + 15% and Flightright up to 52% of your compensation.
Which arbitration body is responsible for Eurowings?
