Flight compensation Corse-Mediterranee:
Lyon — Ajaccio

Legal right to compensation: Corse-Mediterranee flight between Lyon and Ajaccio

If your trip departing from Lyon and arriving at Ajaccio operated by Corse-Mediterranee was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Lyon and Ajaccio (517 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Corse-Mediterranee.

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 Lyon, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Ajaccio. If Corse-Mediterranee made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Ajaccio, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Lyon, the regulation applies in the same way.

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

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

If your Corse-Mediterranee flight from Lyon was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

What are your rights at Lyon 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.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Lyon airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
