Flight compensation Aigle Azur:
Algier — Lille

Procedure: Aigle Azur flight compensation from Algier to Lille

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Algier and Lille with Aigle Azur? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 543 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Aigle Azur Algier - Lille is eligible?

The compensation for flight ALG-LIL is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Aigle Azur sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Houari Boumediene Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Aigle Azur to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Lille.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Algier airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aigle Azur (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Aigle Azur compensation

Don't be fooled by Aigle Azur's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Houari Boumediene Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Aigle Azur has no control.

What are your rights at Algier airport in case of prolonged wait?

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Aigle Azur must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Algier.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Houari Boumediene Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
