Flight compensation Corse-Mediterranee:
Ajaccio — Nantes

How to be compensated by Corse-Mediterranee on the Ajaccio (AJA) - Nantes (NTE) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Corse-Mediterranee did not respect its scheduled times for your Ajaccio - Nantes flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 008 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Corse-Mediterranee to pay you financial compensation.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Corse-Mediterranee Ajaccio - Nantes is eligible?

For an Corse-Mediterranee flight from Ajaccio to Nantes, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Ajaccio without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Nantes.
• 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Ajaccio - Nantes trip is due to an internal strike within Corse-Mediterranee, 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, Corse-Mediterranee is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Ajaccio, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
