Flight compensation Corse-Mediterranee:
Ajaccio — Lyon

Get your Corse-Mediterranee flight compensation for the route Ajaccio - Lyon

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Ajaccio and Lyon with Corse-Mediterranee? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 517 km of flight, the company Corse-Mediterranee 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.

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 Corse-Mediterranee Ajaccio - Lyon is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Lyon airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Corse-Mediterranee owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Corse-Mediterranee sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Ajaccio, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Corse-Mediterranee to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Corse-Mediterranee compensation

A work stoppage of Corse-Mediterranee crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Ajaccio, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Corse-Mediterranee.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Ajaccio airport, Corse-Mediterranee is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Ajaccio terminal is also included in the legal package due by Corse-Mediterranee.
