Public complaints often get faster responses

easyJet ombudsman & regulator routes

Which ombudsman handles easyJet complaints?

AviationADR. Once easyJet’s own complaints process is exhausted (after 8 weeks or a deadlock letter), you can take your complaint there for free. Go to the ombudsman. Read our guide to aviation ADR.

Can you complain to the CAA about easyJet?

Not for individual disputes: the CAA sets the rules for the sector but does not resolve personal complaints or award compensation. Complain to easyJet directly first and keep written records, then escalate to AviationADR if it stays unresolved after 8 weeks or you receive a deadlock or final-response letter. You can still report easyJet to the CAA to flag systemic problems, but that will not get your own money back.

Laws that protect you

UK261 Flight Compensation Regulation

Compensation of £220 to £520, set by flight distance and how late you land, for delays, cancellations and denied boarding. Covers any flight leaving the UK, and flights into the UK only when a UK or EU airline operates them.

UK261/2004Article 3Article 7

Consumer Rights Act 2015

Services must be performed with reasonable care and skill.

Section 49Section 54

Tips for easyJet complaints

  • Put the flight number and date in the first line. easyJet handles thousands of complaints a week and the ones it can match to a booking in one read get answered first.
  • For a delay or cancellation, say which regulation you are claiming under (UK261 for flights from the UK, EU261 from the EU) and the amount. A claim with the figure in it is harder to fob off than a complaint about the experience.

Frequently asked questions

easyJet does not take complaints by email. The address it advertises for customer service, customerservices@easyjet.com, bounced a complaint we sent in September 2026, so mail to it is rejected rather than read. Use the complaints and claims form on easyjet.com instead: it asks for the flight details up front, which is what easyJet matches to your booking. Screenshot the confirmation and note the date you submitted it, because the clock for escalating starts then and the form does not email you a copy.

Airlines have eight weeks to give a final answer. After that, or after a final response you disagree with, a flight delay, cancellation or denied boarding complaint can go to the alternative dispute resolution scheme easyJet is signed up to, which is free to you. The Civil Aviation Authority lists which scheme covers each airline.

We haven't found a complaints email address that easyJet publishes itself, so start from the complaints route on easyJet's own site: https://www.easyjet.com/en/help-centre/contact/contact-us-form. Put "Formal complaint" at the top, with your account or order number, what went wrong, and the outcome you want. Keep a copy of what you send, or a note of the call with the date, so you have a paper trail. If easyJet hasn't sorted it within 8 weeks, you can escalate free to AviationADR.

easyJet complaints can be escalated to AviationADR, free of charge, after 8 weeks or a deadlock letter. Complain to easyJet directly first: the ombudsman only takes your case once the company has had a chance to fix it, and its decision is binding on easyJet.

easyJet has up to 8 weeks to resolve a complaint. If those 8 weeks pass with no fix, or you receive a "deadlock" letter sooner, you can take your case free to AviationADR for a binding decision.

Not for an individual dispute: the CAA regulates the industry but doesn't resolve personal complaints. Your route is to complain to easyJet in writing, then escalate to AviationADR for a free, binding decision. You can still report easyJet to the CAA to flag systemic problems.

Both directions, yes. easyJet is a UK or EU airline, so UK261 covers your flight whether it left the UK or was flying you back into it. Arrive 3 hours or more late and compensation runs from £220 to £520 by distance and delay, unless easyJet can prove extraordinary circumstances.

Read your easyJet letter first: it cites the law that applies, sets a deadline, and says what happens when it passes. No account until you want to keep the draft and track what they do next.
