Paris — Fort-de-france

Procedure: Air Caraïbes flight compensation from Paris to Fort-de-france

From Paris-Orly Airport airport, your departure with Air Caraïbes to Fort-de-france didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 6 852 km of flight, the company Air Caraïbes is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

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 Caraïbes Paris - Fort-de-france is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Fort-de-france airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Caraïbes owes you 600 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Paris-Orly Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 600 €.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Fort-de-france.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
