Flight compensation Airlinair:
Poitiers — Lyon

How to be compensated by Airlinair on the Poitiers (PIS) - Lyon (LYS) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Airlinair did not respect its scheduled times for your Poitiers - Lyon flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 380 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 Poitiers - Lyon is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Airlinair PIS-LYS flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Poitiers.

What are the conditions for Airlinair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Airlinair compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Lyon, 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.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Poitiers - Lyon flight.

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