What this regime says.
Authority
Every citation,
with its pinpoint.
A claim that cites “EU law” gets filed. A claim that cites Article 7(1)(c) gets answered. These are the exact coordinates this entry rests on.

What it imposes
Clocks, defences and the ladder.
A rule module builds these while it evaluates, because a limitation period depends on which forum is open to you. What follows is the structure this regime produces — deliberately with no dates and no figures, because those belong to your facts rather than to the law.
What it entitles you to, beyond money
- Bhutan is party to neither the Montreal Convention nor the Warsaw systemThis is unusual and it matters. Most countries without their own passenger-rights tariff still give an international passenger a treaty floor — Art. 19 of the Montreal Convention for delay, Art. 17 for baggage, with fixed limits in Special Drawing Rights. Bhutan is party to neither Montreal nor Warsaw, so carriage with a place of departure or destination in Bhutan has no treaty liability regime at all. Your rights come entirely from the contract of carriage and from whatever national law the forum applies. Read the conditions of carriage before you travel, and note that a Delhi–Paro–Delhi ticket bought in India may nevertheless engage Indian law on the Indian legs.
- If your itinerary touches India, the Indian regime is probably the stronger claimThe DGCA Civil Aviation Requirements bind any airline operating to or from India, including foreign carriers, and they pay real money for denied boarding, short-notice cancellation and involuntary downgrading. Regional itineraries very often route through Delhi or Mumbai without the passenger thinking of India as part of the journey. If any leg of your ticket departed from or arrived in India, work out the Indian claim before spending time on a regime we could not price.
Where to take it next
- Written claim to the airlineComplain to the carrier in writing first, with the flight, the disruption and the loss it caused, and ask which provision of the national civil aviation regulations it says applies. The regulator will ask whether you did, and the carrier's written answer is your evidence.Claim directtypically 30 days
- Bhutan Civil Aviation AuthorityThe BCAA regulates carriers operating to, from and within Bhutan. Paro is one of the most weather-restricted airports in commercial service and delays are frequent and genuinely operational.Regulatortypically 90 daysofficial page
- Consumer forum or civil courtBinding on themAvailable where the carrier refuses. Several states in the region run consumer forums that hear service-deficiency complaints cheaply and without a lawyer, which is the proportionate route for a disruption claim.Small claimstypically 180 days
