Flight compensation Air India Limited:
Paris — Delhi

Legal right to compensation: Air India Limited flight between Paris and Delhi

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

Given the route between Paris and Delhi (6 565 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air India Limited.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Air India Limited.

How to know if the flight Air India Limited Paris - Delhi is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 6 565 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air India Limited to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Delhi.
• 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 India Limited (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air India Limited compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Paris - Delhi trip is due to an internal strike within Air India Limited, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 600 € is not payable due to an external strike at Paris, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air India Limited.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Air India Limited for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

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

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Air India Limited?

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 600 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Air India Limited will always prefer to compromise and pay the 600 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
