Flight compensation Corse-Mediterranee:
Ajaccio — Paris

How to be compensated by Corse-Mediterranee on the Ajaccio (AJA) - Paris (ORY) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Corse-Mediterranee did not respect its scheduled times for your Ajaccio - Paris 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 907 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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 - Paris is eligible?

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

Don't be fooled by Corse-Mediterranee's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Ajaccio, Corse-Mediterranee 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 Ajaccio and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Corse-Mediterranee?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Paris-Orly Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.
