Flight compensation Binter Canarias:
La Gomera — Tenerife

Procedure: Binter Canarias flight compensation from La Gomera to Tenerife

From La Gomera Airport airport, your departure with Binter Canarias to Tenerife didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 99 km of flight, the company Binter Canarias 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.

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.
