Flight compensation Air China:
Paris — Beijing

Legal right to compensation: Air China flight between Paris and Beijing

If your trip departing from Charles de Gaulle International Airport and arriving at Beijing Capital International Airport operated by Air China was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 8 189 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Air China is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Charles de Gaulle International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Air China Paris - Beijing is eligible?

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

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 600 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Air China to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Air China compensation

A work stoppage of Air China crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 600 €.

A strike by weather services at Charles de Gaulle International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air China has no control.

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

If Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Air China, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Paris shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your CDG-PEK trip.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Air China?

Starting a procedure against Air China for a flight from Paris to Beijing can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

By entrusting your case regarding flight CDG-PEK to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Air China. An expert can reduce this time by half.

By entrusting the recovery of your 600 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

Don't take Air China's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Air China convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
