Flight compensation Airlinair:

Guide: compensation for Airlinair flight from Paris to Caen

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Airlinair failed to meet its timetable for your Paris → Caen flight, EU law backs you up.

Fortunately, for this route of 213 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Airlinair to pay you a fixed indemnity. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Airlinair from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.

How to know if the flight Airlinair Paris - Caen is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at Caen-Carpiquet Airport. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Airlinair owes you 250€.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from Paris-Orly Airport without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 250€ indemnity.

What are the conditions for Airlinair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Airlinair compensation

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

What few know: the assistance obligation remains valid even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 250€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Airlinair is excused from compensation, assistance remains mandatory.

Lots of travellers are unaware that transfers between the accommodation and the terminal at Paris-Orly Airport is also included in the legal package owed by Airlinair.

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

Airlinair's use of complex legal jargon is often a tactic to push travellers to abandon their 250€. Refusals are particularly common on short-haul routes, where amounts seem "small" to airlines.

The national CAA or its EU equivalents can be slow. A private legal action against Airlinair is often more effective. For short-haul, the local small claims court is often competent.
