Get your Binter Canarias flight compensation for the route Dakar - Gran Canaria

From Dakar airport, your departure with Binter Canarias to Gran Canaria didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 483 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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: Dakar (DKR)
  • Arrival airport: Gran Canaria Airport (LPA)
  • Flight distance: 1 483 km (~1h51)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Binter Canarias Dakar - Gran Canaria is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Binter Canarias DKR-LPA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Dakar.

What are the conditions for Binter Canarias to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Binter Canarias compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Dakar - Gran Canaria trip is due to an internal strike within Binter Canarias, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Dakar or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Binter Canarias has no control.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Dakar airport, Binter Canarias is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Dakar, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Binter Canarias?

Getting justice against carrier Binter Canarias requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Binter Canarias flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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

Airlines like Binter Canarias sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Dakar - Gran Canaria line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Binter Canarias convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
