Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Duesseldorf — Gran Canaria

Legal right to compensation: Air Berlin flight between Duesseldorf and Gran Canaria

Your claim for compensation for the Air Berlin flight from Duesseldorf to Gran Canaria deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Dusseldorf International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 3 190 km determines your legal compensation level.

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

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Duesseldorf - Gran Canaria is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Duesseldorf and Gran Canaria entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 3 190 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

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