This data is collected by from commercial and public sources which includes governments, airports, airlines and news media. Added to that the signals from commercial airlines (ACARS and ADS-B) are also gathered.” Explained Hendrik Noorderhaven, CEO EUclaim “So when delayed passengers come to us with a potential claim against an airline they can be assured that EUclaim will analyse our flight data and promptly and honestly confirm whether the passengers claim against an airline under EU Regulation 261/2004 is worth persuing or not.”
