Flight compensation Airlinair:
Montpellier — Nantes

Legal right to compensation: Airlinair flight between Montpellier and Nantes

If your trip departing from Montpellier and arriving at Nantes Atlantique Airport operated by Airlinair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Montpellier, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 589 km determines your legal compensation level.

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

How to know if the flight Airlinair Montpellier - Nantes is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Nantes. If Airlinair made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Nantes Atlantique Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Airlinair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Airlinair compensation

Don't be fooled by Airlinair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Airlinair is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Montpellier 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.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Montpellier airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Airlinair?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Airlinair boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Montpellier airport. These documents will be vital for your case.
