Your entitlement: Air Algerie flight from Lille to Oran

You were due to travel with Air Algerie from Lille to Oran and things went wrong? Regulation CE 261/2004 guarantees a payout in most cases.

With 1 688 km between Lille-Lesquin Airport and Es Senia Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 400€ per person.

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: Lille-Lesquin Airport (LIL)
  • Arrival airport: Es Senia Airport (ORN)
  • Flight distance: 1 688 km (~2h07)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This is not a goodwill gesture from Air Algerie, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Air Algerie Lille - Oran is eligible?

Make sure to keep your travel documents for the Air Algerie LIL-ORN flight. They are the essential proof of your check-in.

In the case of a cancellation, if you were notified less than 14 days before your departure from Lille, the regulation applies in the same way.

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 Lille airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Algerie (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Algerie compensation

The CJEU has definitively ruled: staff strikes are not force majeure for carriers. This precedent is authoritative across all 27 EU member states.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to air traffic control, Air Algerie is exempted from the obligation to pay the 400€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

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

Too many passengers don't know that Air Algerie must offer them sustenance and contact means throughout the delay at Lille-Lesquin Airport. It's a legal obligation, not a bonus.

In case of a next-day flight delay, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers to and from Lille-Lesquin Airport are fully at the airline's expense.
