Claim and compensation for flight CityJet Brest - London
Your claim for compensation for the CityJet flight from Brest to London deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.
European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 467 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.
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: Brest Bretagne Airport (BES)
- Arrival airport: London City Airport (LCY)
- Flight distance: 467 km (~0h35)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
This is not a commercial gesture from CityJet, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
How to know if the flight CityJet Brest - London is eligible?
Check your actual arrival time at London. If CityJet made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at London City Airport, your claim is legitimate.
In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Brest, the regulation applies in the same way.
What are the conditions for CityJet to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Brest airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to CityJet (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Brest, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your CityJet compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by CityJet staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Brest Bretagne Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.
What are your rights at Brest airport in case of prolonged wait?
If Brest Bretagne Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of CityJet, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.
In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Brest Bretagne Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from CityJet?
Starting a procedure against CityJet for a flight from Brest to London can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.
By entrusting your case regarding flight BES-LCY to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
On the BES-LCY line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of CityJet's legal department.
The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The use of complex legal jargon by CityJet is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.
For your 250 €, don't compromise with CityJet without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Brest.
