What is Eritrean Airlines's compensation for flight cancellation?
Eritrean Airlines is a low-cost airline. In 2017 there was one of the largest flight cancellations, a reason given by the company in order to improve its punctuality and increase its operational capacity. In 2018 there were also cancellations caused by the TCP strike. Whatever the context, Eritrean Airlines can cover its back if you are given more than 14 days' notice of cancellation. If you are not given this notice and it is not a case of force majeure, they are obliged to pay you the financial compensation required by the European regulation.
In case of cancellation, with less than 14 days (and of course if it is at the last minute or with a margin of a few days) by the airline company Eritrean Airlines, the passenger has to be compensated for the flight. The only exception is if the cancellation is due to extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided (political instability, weather conditions incompatible with the operation of the flight, safety risks, unexpected flight safety shortcomings, airport congestion, air traffic management and strikes affecting the air carrier's operations).
If Eritrean Airlines gives the passenger between two weeks and seven days notice of cancellation of the flight in advance of the scheduled departure time, and if the passenger is offered re-routing that allows him or her to depart no more than two hours before the original departure time, then he or she cannot claim compensation for the cancellation. In addition, you must also ensure that Eritrean Airlines arrives at your final destination less than four hours later than the scheduled arrival time on the originally contracted flight.
If the passenger is given less than seven days' notice of the scheduled departure time and is not offered an alternative flight, which allows him/her to depart no more than one hour before the original departure time of his/her flight, then the passenger of Eritrean Airlines may claim under similar conditions as for the delay. The criterion will be according to the length of the flight for a higher or lower amount: for flights of less than 1,500 km it will be EUR 250.
For intra-Community flights of more than 1,500 km the amount will rise to 400 euros and for the rest of the trips, between 1,500 and 3,500 km, in addition to the rest of the flights not included in the previous points, the amount will rise to 600 euros. Compensation is paid by bank transfer.
What is the compensation of Eritrean Airlines in case of overbooking?
In the event that Eritrean Airlines is overbooked, then the airline has to pay compensation to the passenger.

According to the provisions of EC Regulation 261/04, Eritrean Airlines has to look for volunteers who can change the date or time of their flight in exchange for compensation and assistance. If not enough volunteers are found, passengers who cannot fly are entitled to compensation, assistance and reimbursement of the ticket or re-routing.

For flights of less than 1500 km, the amount will be 250 euros. For flights between 1501 and 3500 km, the amount rises to 400 euros. For overbooking on flights over 3500 km, the compensation can be up to 600 euros.
