Flight compensation Corse-Mediterranee:
Calvi — Marseille

Legal right to compensation: Corse-Mediterranee flight between Calvi and Marseille

If your trip departing from Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport and arriving at Marseille Provence Airport operated by Corse-Mediterranee was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 308 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Corse-Mediterranee is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Corse-Mediterranee Calvi - Marseille is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Corse-Mediterranee offers you a voucher for your Calvi - Marseille flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Marseille.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Calvi 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 €.

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 Calvi airport in case of prolonged wait?

Don't buy your food without first asking Corse-Mediterranee for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Calvi remains valid. The hotel is due if Corse-Mediterranee offsets your flight by one night.
