Refund and compensation Air France: route Nouakschott to Paris
If your trip departing from Nouakchott International Airport and arriving at Charles de Gaulle International Airport operated by Air France was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.
By taking off from Nouakchott International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 3 797 km determines your legal compensation level.
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.

- Departure airport: Nouakchott International Airport (NKC)
- Arrival airport: Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG)
- Flight distance: 3 797 km (~4h45)

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 Nouakschott - Paris is eligible?

The impact of a strike on your Air France compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Air France staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Nouakschott - Paris flight.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?
Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Air France to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.
Recovering 600 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Air France systems.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The use of complex legal jargon by Air France is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 600 €.
