Flight compensation Air Algerie:
Barcelona — Oran

How to be compensated by Air Algerie on the Barcelona (BCN) - Oran (ORN) line

From Barcelona International Airport airport, your departure with Air Algerie to Oran didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 673 km of flight, the company Air Algerie is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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.

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 Air Algerie Barcelona - Oran is eligible?

For an Air Algerie flight from Barcelona to Oran, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Barcelona International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Air Algerie to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Algerie compensation

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

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Barcelona, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Algerie.

What are your rights at Barcelona 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 Barcelona International Airport, Air Algerie must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

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

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air Algerie?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Es Senia Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Air Algerie.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Air Algerie. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Air Algerie flight from Barcelona can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Air Algerie's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Air Algerie will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
