What many don't know: you have 5 years in France to submit your request against Air France for the Ajaccio-Paris flight. Don't think it's too late even after several months.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Air France compensation

Not all strike{s} exempt the airline from its obligations. If your Ajaccio - Paris delay was caused by an staff strike at Air France, the CJEU have confirmed that this entitles you to a payout.

Even if the 250€ are not payable due to an external strike at Ajaccio, assistance (meals/hotel) stays owed Air France. This is a separate right.

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

The duty of assistance is a essential provision of the EU text. Independently of the 250€ question, if the delay extends at Ajaccio, Air France must distribute meal vouchers.

In case of a overnight flight delay, the regulation requires that lodging and transport to and from Ajaccio are entirely at the carrier's expense.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air France?

It is essential to save your Air France ticket and every email related to the delay at Ajaccio. These documents are vital for building your case.

The main benefit: they take on all the complexity and only collect fees if the 250€ are successfully recovered.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Stay determined despite Air France's non-response. It's a calculated strategy to make you abandon. Statistics show that the majority of passengers drop their claim before resolution.

By opting for a platform with no upfront costs, you have nothing to lose. If the 250€ case fails, you pay nothing. It's that simple.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a standardised negative response is unfortunately the experience of most passengers who act without support for the Ajaccio → Paris route.

Aviation law experts have a vast record of rulings against Air France, which is a powerful lever in proceedings.
