Flight compensation Corsairfly:
Paris — Philipsburg

How to be compensated by Corsairfly on the Paris (ORY) - Philipsburg (SXM) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Corsairfly did not respect its scheduled times for your Paris - Philipsburg flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 6 723 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Corsairfly Paris - Philipsburg is eligible?

For an Corsairfly flight from Paris to Philipsburg, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Corsairfly sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Paris-Orly Airport, the 600 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Corsairfly to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Philipsburg.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Paris airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Corsairfly (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Corsairfly compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Paris - Philipsburg trip is due to an internal strike within Corsairfly, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Corsairfly is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Paris-Orly Airport, Corsairfly must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Paris-Orly Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
