Delay AND cancellation: two situations covered
Delay: a delay of at least 3h on arrival may entitle you to compensation of up to €600, subject to eligibility conditions and the absence of extraordinary circumstances (a routine technical fault and crew management issues are generally attributable to the airline; extreme weather or an air traffic controllers' strike may exempt it).
Cancellation: a cancellation entitles you to a refund or rerouting, and potentially to €600 compensation if the airline did not notify you within the required deadline, unless a genuine extraordinary circumstance applies.
Overbooking: if you are denied boarding against your will for lack of space, compensation is automatic.
