Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Guernsey — Duesseldorf

Legal right to compensation: Air Berlin flight between Guernsey and Duesseldorf

The GCI - DUS route operated by Air Berlin experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 695 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Air Berlin is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Guernsey Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Duesseldorf. If Air Berlin made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Dusseldorf International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 695 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. 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 Duesseldorf.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Guernsey airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Berlin (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation

If your Air Berlin flight from Guernsey Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Guernsey Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Air Berlin for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Guernsey shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your GCI-DUS trip.
