Flight compensation Airlinair:
Lyon — Bologna

Get your Airlinair flight compensation for the route Lyon - Bologna

From Lyon airport, your departure with Airlinair to Bologna didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 504 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Airlinair to pay you financial compensation.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Airlinair Lyon - Bologna is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Airlinair owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Airlinair sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Lyon, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Airlinair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Airlinair compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Lyon - Bologna trip is due to an internal strike within Airlinair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Lyon or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Airlinair has no control.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Lyon airport, Airlinair is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Lyon terminal is also included in the legal package due by Airlinair.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Airlinair?

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

Don't fill out complex forms on the Airlinair website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 250 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Airlines like Airlinair sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Airlinair flight from Lyon can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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 Lyon - Bologna line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
