Why choose Aeroisk as your trusted partner to collect your flight delay compensation:

  • You do not need legal or aviation technical knowledge.

How we collect flight compensation?

The process of collecting monetary compensation for missed flights follows 3 steps:

1 Check on the Aeroisk website the amount of potential compensation you can receive from the airline and attach or email scans or phone photos of the necessary documents.
2 We will contact the airline and negotiate payment of the compensation and, if necessary, take administrative and/or legal action.
3 Once the airline has paid the monetary compensation, we will transfer it to your bank account.

You pay nothing if you do not receive compensation from the airline!

Important! Only if the airline has successfully paid the compensation, you will owe us a commission of 25% of the amount paid.

Once you have registered a compensation claim on the Aeroisk website and provided us with everything we need, we will take out-of-court action to collect your compensation.

The time limit for the airline to respond to a claim for monetary compensation is two months. It sometimes happens that airlines respond at the last minute, or do not respond to claims at all, in order to discourage passengers from going ahead with the procedure for collecting their compensation, but this should not discourage you because we are aware that it is done for this very purpose.

If the carrier refuses to pay compensation or fails to respond to a claim within the time limit, we will take the necessary follow-up action against the carrier and, if we consider that the reason why the airline is not paying compensation is unfounded and unjustified, Aeroisk will, at its own expense, bring an action in the competent court in the European Union, with all costs of lawyers' fees, court and other fees in the course of the action being borne by Aeroisk.

You can monitor the progress of your claim at any time through your personal account on our website, and you will receive an email update whenever there is any news about your claim.
