Get your Aigle Azur flight compensation for the route Funchal - Paris

From Madeira Airport airport, your departure with Aigle Azur to Paris didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 391 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Aigle Azur to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Madeira Airport (FNC)
  • Arrival airport: Paris-Orly Airport (ORY)
  • Flight distance: 2 391 km (~2h59)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Aigle Azur Funchal - Paris is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Aigle Azur FNC-ORY flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Funchal.

What are the conditions for Aigle Azur to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Funchal, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Aigle Azur compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Funchal - Paris trip is due to an internal strike within Aigle Azur, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Funchal, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Aigle Azur.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Madeira Airport, Aigle Azur must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Madeira Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Aigle Azur?

The amicable route with Aigle Azur to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Aigle Azur flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Airlines like Aigle Azur sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Aigle Azur flight from Funchal can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Funchal - Paris line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
