Your entitlement: Airlinair flight from Lille to Bastia

You were due to travel with Airlinair from Lille to Bastia and things went wrong? Regulation CE 261/2004 guarantees a payout in most cases.

Seize this entitlement: the Airlinair flight Lille → Bastia (1 015 km) entitles you to 250€ compensation under EU regulation.

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.

  • Arrival airport: Bastia-Poretta Airport (BIA)
  • Flight distance: 1 015 km (~1h16)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is not a goodwill gesture from Airlinair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

Three conditions must be met to trigger your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Bastia|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Airlinair is responsible for|the fault lies with} Airlinair.

A little-known fact: you have up to 5 years to file your claim against Airlinair for the Lille→Bastia flight. Don't assume it's impossible to claim if the incident was some time ago.
