Claim your compensation for Air One Paris - Catania

The endless wait at Charles de Gaulle International Airport towards Catania with Air One doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

Departing from Charles de Gaulle International Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 1 631 km determines the amount of your compensation. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

How to know if the flight Air One Paris - Catania is eligible?

To verify if your journey between Paris and Catania qualifies for compensation, the main criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Catania / Fontanarossa Airport}). It must be greater than 3 hours.

Even if Air One offers a replacement flight, the 400€ indemnity remains owed if the final delay at Catania is over the 180-minute threshold.

What are the conditions for Air One to compensate you?

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