      Article 5(1)(c)(iii) of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91, must be interpreted as meaning that a passenger who was informed of the cancellation of his flight less than seven days before the scheduled time of departure of that flight has the right to the compensation provided for in that provision where the re-routing offered by the carrier allowed him to reach his final destination more than two hours after the scheduled time of arrival of the cancelled flight, but less than three hours after that scheduled time of arrival.
