How to be compensated by Air Madagascar on the Paris (CDG) - Antananarivo (TNR) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air Madagascar did not respect its scheduled times for your Paris - Antananarivo flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 8 748 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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

  • Departure airport: Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG)
  • Arrival airport: Ivato Airport (TNR)
  • Flight distance: 8 748 km (~10h56)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Air Madagascar Paris - Antananarivo is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Ivato Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Madagascar owes you 600 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air Madagascar CDG-TNR flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Paris.

What are the conditions for Air Madagascar to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Madagascar compensation

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

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

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Air Madagascar must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Paris.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

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

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Ivato Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Air Madagascar website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 600 € indemnity.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Air Madagascar. 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?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Paris - Antananarivo line.

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