Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

  • Departure airport: Frankfurt am Main International Airport (FRA)
  • Arrival airport: Male (MLE)
  • Flight distance: 7 884 km (~9h51)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Condor Flugdienst from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

A strike by ATC services at Frankfurt am Main International Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which Condor Flugdienst has no control.

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