Flight compensation Binter Canarias:
El Aaiún — Gran Canaria

Legal right to compensation: Binter Canarias flight between El Aaiún and Gran Canaria

Your claim for compensation for the Binter Canarias flight from El Aaiún to Gran Canaria deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between El Aaiún and Gran Canaria (231 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Binter Canarias.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Binter Canarias.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Binter Canarias offers you a voucher for your El Aaiún - Gran Canaria flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 231 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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 El Aaiún airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Binter Canarias (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Binter Canarias compensation

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

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at El Aaiún, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Binter Canarias.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Binter Canarias for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at El Aaiún shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your EUN-LPA trip.

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

It is strongly recommended to keep your Binter Canarias boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Hassan I Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

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.

A collective action on the Binter Canarias flight from El Aaiún can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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 El Aaiún - Gran Canaria line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Binter Canarias will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
