About Nile Air
What can I claim from Nile Air if my flight is delayed?
Nile Air is a company that operates thousands of flights a day, so it is not surprising that delays and cancellations of its flights occur. In the event that the flight is delayed for more than 2 hours, the company's ground staff must offer free food and drink tickets. Depending on the necessary waiting time, the user is entitled to two telephone calls, fax messages or e-mails.
In the event of a delay on your flight with Nile Air, a number of issues are very important. If you have arrived at your destination at least 3 hours later than planned, you can get up to 600 euros compensation per flight. If the flight delay is 2 hours, the user can make a claim for up to 250 euros.
If your Nile Air flight is delayed for more than 5 hours, in addition to assistance, you are entitled to a refund, within 7 days, of the full cost of the unused leg(s). It may also be the case that Nile Air must provide you with a return flight to the first point of departure if you have already made the first leg and miss the connecting flight.
If it is necessary to spend the night on the ground, Nile Air must provide accommodation, meals and travel to and from the airport from the place of accommodation. In addition, reimbursement and return flight.
What is the flight delay compensation for Nile Air?
Delay in Nile Air entitles the customer to compensation calculated according to the time of arrival at the destination. If you arrive at your destination 3 hours or more after the scheduled time, up to 600 euros can be claimed. If it is not more than 2 hours, then the amount is 250 euros. If it is more than 2 hours, but less than 3 hours, then the amount should be around 400 Euros.
The reasons why Nile Air can be exempted from this concept is if the delay is due to extraordinary circumstances, such as weather conditions. The amount to be received can also vary depending on the distance to the destination.
Up to 1500 km, the amount to be claimed will be 250 euros. Between 1501 and 3500 km, it will be 400 euros. If the distance exceeds 3500 km, then the amount to be claimed will increase to 600 euros.
What should Nile Air compensate in case of cancellation?
In case of cancellation by the air carrier Nile Air, a flight has to be made with compensation to the passenger. 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 the air carrier Nile Air gives the passenger between two weeks and seven days notice of the cancellation of the flight in advance of the scheduled departure time, and if the passenger is offered re-routing that allows him/her to depart no more than two hours before the original departure of the flight, then he/she cannot claim compensation on the grounds of the cancellation. Furthermore, Nile Air must also ensure that he/she arrives at his/her final destination less than four hours later than the scheduled arrival time of the originally contracted flight.
If Nile Air is notified to the passenger less than seven days before the scheduled departure time and the passenger is not offered another flight that allows him/her to depart no more than one hour before the original departure time of his/her flight, then the passenger of Nile Air 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, as well as the rest of the flights not included in the previous points, the amount will rise to 600 euros. Compensation will be paid by bank transfer.
What should Nile Air compensate in case of overbooking?
In the event that Nile Air is overbooked, then the airline has to pay compensation to the passenger.
It may happen that, for various reasons, the aircraft cannot operate with all passengers on board. In this situation of 'overbooking', according to the provisions of EC Regulation 261/04, Nile Air 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 will be entitled to compensation, assistance and reimbursement of the ticket or re-routing.
What are my rights if Nile Air has denied me boarding due to overbooking?
In the case of Nile Air overbooking, compensation will depend on the distance of the flight and the hours of delay in arriving at your destination. You will be entitled to compensation, which you can request through the Nile Air customer service.
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 overbooked flights over 3500 km, the compensation can be up to 600 euros.

What should I do at the airport if my luggage has not arrived?

The P.I.R. is a reference number with an associated code that you will need to keep for future reference and claims. Please ensure that the description of the baggage is as detailed as possible to make it easier to locate.
Nile Air will arrange for the luggage to be sent to the customer within 24 hours. Under normal conditions, most baggage is located and delivered within 72 hours.
In the case of P.I.R., the search for the luggage starts through a system that integrates all airports. Nile Air with this tool should locate your luggage, then inform you via SMS, email or phone, and take care of getting it to you as soon as possible to the address indicated in the P.I.R. If you want to indicate a new shipping address, please contact the company to update it.
In the meantime, you can check the latest information on the location of your suitcase by accessing the WorldTracer search system with the P.I.R. code.
