Flight compensation Air Transat:
Brussels — Montreal

Claim and compensation for flight Air Transat Brussels - Montreal

If your trip departing from Brussels Airport and arriving at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport operated by Air Transat was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Brussels Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 5 554 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.

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 Transat.

How to know if the flight Air Transat Brussels - Montreal is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Montreal. If Air Transat made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Brussels, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Air Transat to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Montreal.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Brussels airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Transat (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air Transat compensation

A work stoppage of Air Transat 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 Brussels, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Transat.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Brussels Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Brussels shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BRU-YUL trip.
