Procedure: Airlinair flight compensation from Lyon to Poitiers

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

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.

The impact of a strike on your Airlinair compensation

A work stoppage of Airlinair crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Lyon, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Airlinair.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Airlinair must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Lyon.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Airlinair will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
