Who are the biggest flight compensation companies in Europe?

By Richard Jasinski·Updated 4 November 2026

AirHelp says 3.3M+ passengers paid, Flightright more than £615 million paid out and Skycop 1M+ compensated customers: the 15 claims companies on this page publish figures for their size, but each counts something different and many give different figures on different pages.

Who are the biggest flight compensation companies in Europe?

No company can be said to be the biggest from these figures: none is checked by anyone else, they count different things (passengers paid, claims checked, money paid out) and many differ from page to page on the company's own site. The cards give each one's own figures, in alphabetical order.

Who is on this page and why. The Uncompromised Travel flight compensation table holds 33 companies: the claims companies ChatGPT names most when asked about flight compensation. Their own websites were read on 20 October 2026, with their Trustpilot profiles. This page carries the claims companies in the table whose own website publishes a figure for the passengers, customers or money it has handled (each counts something different, so the page does not rank them), in words that can be shown here: 15 companies. Cards are in alphabetical order. Fees are shown as each company publishes them, with their conditions. No company paid to be on this page.

The biggest claims companies: the questions people ask

Why is this page not ranked?

The companies count different things and many give two figures on different pages: Flight-Delayed says more than 2 million passengers on one page and 1M+ on others.

Who publishes money recovered?

AirAdvisor, AirClaim, Bott and Co, FairPlane, Flightright, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT and Reclamador give a figure for money won, paid out or claimed.

Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?

14 of the 15: AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, AirClaim, AirHelp, Bott and Co, ClaimFlights, FairPlane, Flightright, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, RefundMore, Skycop and SkyRefund. Each card shows the rating, the number of reviews and the newest review date, read on the day shown.

Do these companies charge a fee if they win?

AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, AirClaim, AirHelp, ClaimFlights, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, Flightright, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, RefundMore, Skycop and SkyRefund publish a fee figure on their own websites. Each card gives the fee as the company states it, with its conditions, such as VAT or a separate court fee. For Bott and Co, no fee figure was found on its website or its fee page would not open; ask before you sign.

Can I claim without a claims company?

Yes. You can claim from the airline directly and for free; in the UK or EU you can go on to the national enforcement body or an approved dispute scheme if the airline refuses. A claims company takes a share of the compensation for doing that work for you.

Where can I check these facts myself?

Each card links the pages of the company's own website its lines were read from, under Sources, with the date they were read.

How were these companies chosen?

Each one is a claims company in the Uncompromised Travel flight compensation table and its own website publishes a figure for the passengers, customers or money it has handled (each counts something different, so the page does not rank them). A company is on the page because its published facts fit the question, never because it paid.

Is any company on this page paying to be here?

No. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel; none paid to be listed.

Built to answer the question in the main heading. What is shown: what each claims company published on its own website, read on 20 October 2026, with its Trustpilot rating where the profile carries the company's own name, from the Uncompromised Travel flight compensation table. Left out: companies whose websites would not open, a company whose activities were taken over by another, a company whose address opens another company's site and services that pass the claim to other companies. Cards are in alphabetical order. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel. How this site earns · How we work.
