Day by day, the chaos at German airports is increasing. Endless waiting times and numerous flight cancellations are an annoying daily routine there. And the trouble continues when those affected by cancellations want to claim the compensation payments to which they are legally entitled. Startups such as EUflight and Wir Kaufen Deinen Flug are profiting from the misery and, ideally, promise payment within a few hours.
The business model is the same for both Hamburg-based startups. Passengers whose flights have been significantly delayed or canceled altogether fill out an online form with the relevant data and facts. The startups check whether the complaint is basically justified and, if the decision is positive, immediately pay out the amount due. However, they retain a commission of up to 36% plus VAT.
