Which Flight Compensation Companies Cover Flights Outside Europe? Eight Companies, and the Laws Each One Names

By Richard Jasinski·Updated 15 October 2026

SkyRefund names more non-European passenger laws than any other claims company: Turkey, Canada, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, the Montreal Convention and US rules. AirHelp covers Brazil, Turkey and Saudi Arabia but says it "doesn't currently handle" Canadian claims. AirAdvisor and Compensair take Canada and Turkey, refundme.in is the only one naming India, TravelStacks covers US refunds, and none names Israel. For US domestic flights there is no federal delay compensation at all, only refunds. This page gives no score; every claim is the company's own, read on 15 October 2026.

Who is on this page, and why

A company is on this page if ChatGPT names it for this question, or if its own website names a non-European passenger law it claims under. Between 9 and 15 October 2026 ChatGPT named AirHelp every day, then AirAdvisor, Skycop, TravelStacks, SkyRefund, Compensair and Flightright, citing transportation.gov more than any company. We read each company's own pages and terms on 15 October 2026. ClaimCompass now redirects to AirHelp, which bought it in November 2024. "Air Passenger Protection" is Canada's regulation, not a company. This page gives no score.

How to read a card. "Non-European laws it names" quotes the company's own pages or terms. Where a company's pages contradict each other, both are shown. "Not stated on their website" means we read the pages and the fact is not there. Reviews are per platform. "Not the fit if" uses only limits the company publishes.

Country by country: what the law pays and who claims it

Canada (APPR)

Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations pay CAD 400, 700 or 1,000 for an arrival delay of 3, 6 or 9 hours on a large airline, and CAD 125, 250 or 500 on a small one, when the cause is within the airline's control and you had 14 days' notice or less. Denied boarding pays CAD 900 to 2,400. You have one year to claim and the airline has 30 days to pay or explain. Companies that say they take APPR claims: AirAdvisor, Compensair, SkyRefund and refundme.in; Skycop offers an assessment. AirHelp's Canada page says it "doesn't currently handle APPR claims". Source: Canadian Transportation Agency.

Turkey (SHY-YOLCU)

Turkey's passenger regulation pays €100 on domestic flights and €250, €400 or €600 on international flights by distance, in Turkish lira at the Central Bank rate on the day of payment, for delays of three hours or more, cancellations and denied boarding. AirHelp, AirAdvisor, Compensair, SkyRefund and refundme.in say they claim under it. Source: SHY-YOLCU regulation, Turkish civil aviation directorate.

Brazil (ANAC Resolution 400)

Brazil's rules give care, not cash, for delays: communication after one hour, food after two, and a refund or rebooking with a hotel if needed after four, according to AirHelp's summary; fixed cash compensation applies to denied boarding (250 SDR domestic, 500 SDR international), according to SkyRefund. Larger sums for "moral damages" come through the courts. AirHelp and SkyRefund say they take Brazilian claims; Skycop offers an assessment. We could not open ANAC's own pages, which returned a verification screen.

Saudi Arabia (GACA)

AirHelp and SkyRefund are the only companies read that name Saudi Arabia's civil aviation rules. AirHelp states $70 for a delay of 3 to 6 hours and $205 over 6 hours, "based on 10, 30, and 100 Special Drawing Rights as defined by GACA".

India and Israel

Only refundme.in names India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation rules, up to INR 20,000, and no company read names Israel's Aviation Services Law on its own site. AirAdvisor's and AirHelp's Israel pages offer only EU or UK claims, which cover flights leaving Europe or the UK.

United States

There is no federal compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight within the US: the Department of Transportation's Fly Rights guide says "airlines are not required to compensate passengers whose flights are delayed or canceled". What US law does give is a refund. Under DOT's 2024 refund rule, airlines must refund automatically when they cancel or significantly change a flight and you decline the alternative: within 7 business days for card payments and 20 days otherwise. Involuntary denied boarding pays 200% or 400% of the one-way fare, up to $1,075 or $2,150. Some airlines also commit to meals and hotels, shown on DOT's cancellation and delay dashboard. AirHelp and AirAdvisor both say US domestic delays earn no compensation; TravelStacks charges a flat $19 to chase a US refund. Sources: DOT refunds, Federal Register final rule, Fly Rights. Our page on US flight delay compensation covers the detail.

Anywhere: the Montreal Convention

On international flights between countries that have signed it, the Montreal Convention lets you claim proven losses caused by a delay, and covers lost, damaged and delayed baggage. Unlike EU261 it pays what you can show you lost, not a fixed sum. AirAdvisor (baggage, in its terms), SkyRefund (in its terms), AirHelp (in its terms) and Flightright (baggage) name it. We could not open ICAO's page with the current liability limits, so none is quoted here.

Three questions before you sign

1. Does the company name your country's law on its own site? A homepage that says "worldwide" is not enough. Look for the regulation by name, as on the cards above.

2. Does it say yes, or only that it will check? Skycop's Canada and Brazil pages say it will assess "whether we can take on your claim"; AirHelp's terms list Canada while its Canada page says it does not handle it.

3. Would EU261 or UK261 cover you anyway? A flight leaving an EU or UK airport is covered whatever the airline and destination, and a flight into the EU or UK on an EU or UK airline is too. See who is covered by EU261.

Flight compensation outside Europe: the questions people ask

Which flight compensation companies cover flights outside Europe?

On their own sites, read 15 October 2026: SkyRefund names the most non-European laws (Turkey, Canada, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, the Montreal Convention and US rules). AirHelp covers Brazil, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, but its Canada page says it "doesn't currently handle APPR claims". AirAdvisor and Compensair take Canada and Turkey. refundme.in is the only one that names India. TravelStacks covers US rules. No company read names Israel's Aviation Services Law.

Which company handles Canadian APPR claims?

AirAdvisor, Compensair, SkyRefund and refundme.in say they take claims under Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations; Skycop offers to assess whether it can. AirHelp's English Canada page says it "doesn't currently handle APPR claims". APPR pays CAD 400 to 1,000 on large airlines, and the airline must answer within 30 days.

Can I claim compensation for a delayed flight in the US?

Not under federal law for a domestic delay: the US Department of Transportation says airlines are not required to compensate passengers whose flights are delayed or cancelled. You are owed a refund if the airline cancels or significantly changes the flight and you decline the alternative, and some airlines commit to meals or hotels on DOT's dashboard. Involuntary denied boarding pays up to $1,075 or $2,150.

Does EU261 cover flights outside Europe?

Partly. EU261 covers any flight departing an EU airport, whatever the airline or destination, and flights arriving in the EU on an EU airline. A flight from New York to Paris on a US airline is not covered; the same route on an EU airline is. UK261 works the same way for the UK.

How much is Turkish flight delay compensation?

Under Turkey's SHY-YOLCU regulation, €100 for domestic flights and €250, €400 or €600 for international flights by distance, paid in Turkish lira at the Central Bank rate on the day of payment, for delays of three hours or more. AirHelp, AirAdvisor, Compensair, SkyRefund and refundme.in say they claim it.

Is there flight delay compensation in Brazil?

Not fixed cash for a delay. Brazil's ANAC Resolution 400 requires care: communication after one hour, meals after two, and a refund or rebooking with accommodation after four. Fixed compensation applies to denied boarding (250 SDR domestic, 500 SDR international), and larger moral-damages awards come through Brazilian courts. AirHelp and SkyRefund take Brazilian claims.

What do claims companies charge for non-European claims?

Mostly the same as for EU claims. AirHelp 35% plus 15% for legal action (Brazil has its own price list); SkyRefund 35% plus 15%; AirAdvisor 30%, or 50% with legal action; Compensair 30% plus a possible 10%; refundme.in 30% plus GST or VAT. Skycop states no rate for Canadian, Brazilian or Turkish claims. TravelStacks charges $19 for a US refund claim.

Can a company pay to be on this page?

No. A company is on this page because ChatGPT names it for this question or because its own site names a non-European passenger law. There are no affiliate links and no paid placements, and no company has paid to appear or to be shown differently.
