Every flight departing Brussels Airport is covered by Regulation 261/2004 on any airline; inbound flights from outside the EU are covered on EU airlines such as Brussels Airlines. Brussels–London, Brussels–Madrid and the European network pay €250; Brussels–New York and Brussels–Kinshasa pay €600. The FPS Mobility and Transport handles complaints, and Belgian law gives two years from the flight to bring a court claim.

Care and re-routing when leaving Brussels
Delayed at the gate: meals, refreshments and two calls or e-mails from 2 h of delay on flights up to 1,500 km, 3 h up to 3,500 km (and on every intra-EU flight over 1,500 km), 4 h beyond — plus a hotel and transport when the departure moves to the next day. Owed whatever the cause.
Cancelled or denied boarding: the choice between a refund of the unused ticket within 7 days and re-routing to your destination at the earliest opportunity or on a later date of your choosing, with care while you wait.
Delayed 5 h or more: you may give up the journey and take a full refund of the unused ticket, with a return flight to your departure point if the trip has lost its purpose.
Brussels is exposed to national strike days that close or thin out the airport, and to Belgian ATC staffing limits. Belgian law gives two years from the flight for these claims, which is the shortest in western Europe — a Brussels departure should be claimed at once.

Brussels-specific issues
Brussels is Brussels Airlines’ hub for its Africa network and a station for Ryanair, TUI fly Belgium and most European majors. Belgian national strike days and industrial action by skeyes (Belgian ATC) are the recurring cause of cancellations: third-party strikes are generally extraordinary, but the airline must still refund or re-route you, provide care, and show it took all reasonable measures. Strikes by the airline’s own crew are not extraordinary.
On a single Brussels Airlines booking, the delay is measured at your final destination; a late European sector that costs you the Kinshasa or New York connection is a €600 case.

Escalation
- Claim from the airline in writing.
- FPS Mobility and Transport — Passenger Rights — Belgium’s enforcement body (assesses complaints; does not order payment).
- The Belgian Consumer Ombudsman Service for mediation where no sector scheme applies.
- Justice de paix / vredegerecht small claims, or the European Small Claims Procedure — Belgian law sets a two-year period for passenger-transport contracts (Article X.49 of the Code of Economic Law), so escalate without delay.
