About Stobart Air

While Stobart is largely known as the largest haulage company in the UK, Stobart Air seems to be the less popular division of the business. The airline operates wet leases and franchisee aircraft for big names such as Flybe and AER Lingus. Even as the Stobart group has brought its trademark punctuality to the aviation industry, that has not eliminated cases of delays and cancellations.

At Flightright, we assist Stobart Air passengers who have been subjected to a delay or flight cancellation to enforce their rights. Getting compensated is quick and simple. To get started, use our free online calculator to check your eligibility for a Stobart Air flight delay compensation.

More in-depth information regarding the EU-regulation and your passenger rights.

Under what conditions is your flight delay with Stobart Air eligible for compensation?

The EU261 2004 regulation specifies conditions for which a Stobart air passenger becomes entitled to a Stobart air delay compensation. The conditions as outlined in the regulation include:

  1. That a STOBART AIR flight arrives at its final destination, more than 3 hours after the ETA.
  2. In the case of flight cancellations, cancellations without prior notice of 14 days and above.

The EU 261/2004 regulation specifies sanctions for these infringements. However, these sanctions would not apply if the delay or cancellation is a result of extraordinary circumstances such as union strikes or bad weather.

Note: the amount of compensation is dependent on the distance of the flight – not on the amount you paid for your ticket. Additionally, the flight must either take off or land in the European Union. In the case where it is landing in the European Union, the airline must also have its headquarters in the EU.

A Stobart Air passenger is entitled to compensation in the event of the following:

  • Flight delay: If your Stobart Air flight arrives at your destination more than 3 hours later than expected.
  • Flight Cancellation: if you were not informed of the cancellation or informed less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: If you had suffered a denied boarding due to overbooking of your flight.
  • Missed connecting flight: If you missed a connecting flight due to a delay in one of the legs, and you arrived at your destination more than 3 hours later than expected.

Don’t take any excuses!

  • Meal vouchers or accommodation (in the case of an overnight delay) do not suffice for compensation.
  • All flight packages are covered by this regulation and only the person on the passenger manifest and who has suffered the delay, irrespective of who paid for the ticket, will receive compensation for the disturbance.
  • Your claims are valid up to 6 years in the past.
  • Only extraordinary circumstances such as union strikes or bad weather relieve the airline of this responsibility.

Here is an overview of which compensation you’ll be entitled to, based on the circumstances of your delay:

  • Short distance flight delays – Below 1500km – Passengers are due €250 compensation from Stobart Air.
  • Medium distance flight delays – Between 1500km and 3500km – Passengers are due €400 compensation from Stobart Air.
  • Long distance flight delays – Over 3500km – Passengers are due €600 compensation from Stobart Air.
