Procedure: Air Berlin flight compensation from Ibiza to Frankfurt

From Ibiza Airport airport, your departure with Air Berlin to Frankfurt didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 365 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Ibiza Airport (IBZ)
  • Arrival airport: Frankfurt am Main International Airport (FRA)
  • Flight distance: 1 365 km (~1h42)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Ibiza - Frankfurt is eligible?

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Air Berlin sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Ibiza Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation

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

A strike by weather services at Ibiza Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Berlin has no control.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Ibiza Airport airport, Air Berlin is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

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

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