Flight delay compensation, all other non-EU airlines

Having said that, the airline doesn't seem to be claiming that anyway, and appears to believe that arriving within an hour of schedule is enough to negate compensation, when departure time also has to be factored in as you say.
That seems to be the only UK/EC261 aspect of your complaint(s) - any return flight to the UK on a non-UK/EU airline is out of scope, and all the absence of notification, etc, doesn't give rise to a legal monetary claim as such, even though you can seek some sort of gesture for poor service.
Personally I wouldn't start threatening legal action at this stage, but it does remain an option should they refuse to accept that and fail to pay the £260.

When you say 'UK Address for serving', do you mean the address for PIA in the UK? If so I have an address for them as that is where I sent my original claim for compensation. When I first emailed them, they said all claims must be sent to their postal address. I'm not sure whether the CAA sent a letter to this address or emailed them.0 -

I got an autoreply to send to another email address and that I will get a response in 3 working days so forwarded the email to this address. Lets see what they say.0 -
@eskbanker Got a call from PIA this morning and they are willing to pay me £110 per passenger which I said will accept. Thanks for your help on this.0

I guess I could have pushed for more but to even get this much out of PIA is something considering they have been so useless.0 -
I recently flew from LHR to Bali via Doha on Qatar Airline, on a codeshare flight with BA. The first flight was delayed 40 mins at take off, resulting in a 1 minute late landing time. On arrival into the terminal we were given new boarding cards for a later connecting flight and the original ones taken away. We eventually arrived in Bali at 08.10, instead of 22.40, a delay of 9hrs 30 mins.
Do I claim from BA or Qatar? On their websites, the original 2nd flight number is not recognised now, only the updated 2nd leg.0 -
Claims need to be made from the "operating air carrier" rather than the one who ticketed it, although, as ever, the success of a compensation claim will depend on the root cause and the extent to which it was within the airline's control.
Was "a 1 minute late landing time" a typo? Must have been a pretty tight connection to be jeopardised by that sort of 'delay'!1
