I am confused, is my delay from London Heathrow to Kathmandu via Abu Dhabi eligible?

747 Posts

Ticket is as follows:
London Heathrow - Abu Dhabi - Kathmandu
However, the plane took off late due to technical issue and ended up in Abu Dhabi 1 hour 55 minutes later than planned. This resulted in us missing our transit flight to Kathmandu.
We were then rescheduled for a flight next day (approximately 22 hours later than our original flight)
I wanted to check if this is covered please.
Edit: to clarify, we ended up in Kathmandu 22 hours later than we had originally planned

"If you’re on a non-UK flight which connects to a UK flight
You can usually get compensation if:
you booked both flights as a single booking
you were delayed for more than 3 hours
the delay was the airline’s fault
For example, if you were flying from London to Melbourne, with a stopover in Dubai, and your connecting flight was delayed or you couldn’t board the plane, you’d still be covered."
They amended our orginal booked to show (+1 day) for Abu Dhabi to KTM and sent us new tickets but I am assuming this does not matter as it is a change from original ticket.
What is the compensation amount due here please?
So Etihad Airways from London Heathrow to Abu Dhabi
and
then Etihad Airways (operated by Air Arabia) from Abu Dhabi to Kathmandu.
I guess this makes it more complex as journeys in these instances can be treated as separate by the court?
Ultimately, it was the London Heathrow to Abu Dhabi leg which caused the delay
