Flight compensation Airlinair:
Geneva — Biarritz-bayonne

Claim up to 250€ for Airlinair flight Geneva - Biarritz-bayonne

Your compensation claim for the Airlinair flight from Geneva to Biarritz-bayonne deserves attention. Flight disruptions is frustrating for every passenger.

The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Airlinair fails its obligations on the 676 km route from Geneva to Biarritz-bayonne.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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 landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

How to know if the flight Airlinair Geneva - Biarritz-bayonne is eligible?

Note your real landing time at Biarritz-bayonne. If Airlinair delayed you over 3h at Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Even if Airlinair reroutes you, the 250€ compensation still applies if the arrival at Biarritz-bayonne exceeds 3 hours.

What are the conditions for Airlinair to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Biarritz-bayonne.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Airlinair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Airlinair compensation

A strike action by Airlinair's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250€.
