Not every delay is eligible for compensation, and a 10 to 15-minute delay can always happen. This is why airlines recommend you leave at least 90 minutes between your connecting flights. However, if the Isra Air delay is longer than 3 hours, you automatically become eligible for compensation.

The amount you can get often depends on the distance you flew over and the length of the delay. Your right kicks in after 3 hours under EC 261 – from that point, you can get between 250 and 600 EUR. The longer the distance, the more you can receive.

For instance, if a severe hailstorm or thick fog prevents the aircraft from taking off the tarmac, there’s very little that the airline can do. However, if it’s winter and the tarmac could have been kept clear using the right equipment, you may be eligible for compensation.

That depends on the circumstances. For instance, Isra Air is not an EU airline but performs regular flights to and from there. If your flight departed from a European airport, you should be able to get compensation.
