Procedure: Airlinair flight compensation from Nantes to Bordeaux

From Nantes Atlantique Airport airport, your departure with Airlinair to Bordeaux didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 268 km of flight, the company Airlinair is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Nantes Atlantique Airport (NTE)
  • Arrival airport: Bordeaux (BOD)
  • Flight distance: 268 km (~0h20)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The compensation for flight NTE-BOD is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Airlinair NTE-BOD flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Nantes.

What are the conditions for Airlinair to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Nantes, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Airlinair compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Bordeaux, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Nantes Atlantique Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Nantes 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 Nantes.

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

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Airlinair?

The amicable route with Airlinair to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Airlinair.

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

On the NTE-BOD line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Airlinair's legal department.

Recovering 250 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Airlinair systems.

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

The first refusal from Airlinair should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Airlinair without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Nantes.
