Just to chip if, it’s it’s an eu airline carrier on flights then I recently had success after initial refusal withlufantsa
this is what I sent them if you want to copyThank you for a quick response to my claim, I was aware that we were not covered under EC261, that is why my letter attached to the online compensation form indicated that I wanted to make a claim for compensation under UK261 - The Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2019/278/pdfs/uksi_20190278_en.pdf known as UK261 as we were passengers whose scheduled flight departs from a third country with an EU airline scheduled to arrive in a third country.
Regulations 278 of 278 are made in exercise of the powers in section 8(1) of and paragraph 21 of Schedule 7 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16) (“the 2018 Act”) in order to address failures of retained EU law to operate effectively and other deficiencies arising from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, Part 4 amends Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 which concerns the rights of passengers if their flight is cancelled or delayed, which brings our claim into scope.
This legislation applies as we travelled from Lima (airport in third country) with an EU airline (iberia) scheduled to arrive in a third country (uk). The flights were over 3,500km, we were delayed at our final destination by more than 3 hours, and the delay was not due to extraordinary circumstances
