AirHelp Fees

AirHelp Limited is a flight delay claim company headquartered in Hong Kong, China. They have established legitimate outlets in different countries.

Their fee model contains two charges, first a 35% service fee of the received Flight Compensation (including applicable VAT) for handling your case and second an additional 15% upcharge of the received Flight Compensation (including applicable VAT) if the case needs to go in court.

Most of the airlines are unwilling to pay flight delay compensation claims at the first instant. And, thus legal action is required in certain cases.

When the flight delay case is to be presented in front of the court, Airhelp charges an additional 15% legal action fee (including applicable VAT) to its service fee.

That means you can be charged up to 50% of the received Flight Compensation for their service.

How much AirHelp charges?

AirHelp charges 35% of the received Flight Compensation as a service fee (including VAT). Whereas when legal action is required, they charge a 15% additional fee along with their service fee.

Thus, they charge 50% of the compensation amount for a delayed or canceled flight, when they have to take the case to the court.

Here’s the summary of how much you can claim for your flight under EU law, and through AirHelp if your case needs to be brought before the court.
