Claim and compensation for flight Air France Kuala Lumpur - Paris

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

Given the route between Kuala Lumpur and Paris (10 442 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air France.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Arrival airport: Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG)
  • Flight distance: 10 442 km (~13h03)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

This is not a commercial gesture from Air France, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Air France Kuala Lumpur - Paris is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Kuala Lumpur and Paris entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air France (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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