Compensation & claim for Binter Canarias: Tenerife to Santa Cruz De La Palma

A delay over 3 hours on Binter Canarias Tenerife → Santa Cruz De La Palma qualifies you for up to 250€. Check how to claim.

Leaving Tenerife Norte Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 139 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Tenerife Norte Airport (TFN)
  • Arrival airport: La Palma Airport (SPC)
  • Flight distance: 139 km (~0h10)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

The impact of a strike on your Binter Canarias compensation

A work stoppage by Binter Canarias's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 250€.

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

An often-forgotten point: the right to care applies even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 250€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Binter Canarias is exempt from the payout, care is still owed.

The complete chain of care comprises: drinks and snacks, full meals proportionate to the wait, calls or emails, and hotel with shuttles if an overnight stay is needed. All of this at the expense of Binter Canarias.
