Flight compensation Corse-Mediterranee:
Marseille — Ajaccio

Procedure: Corse-Mediterranee flight compensation from Marseille to Ajaccio

From Marseille Provence Airport airport, your departure with Corse-Mediterranee to Ajaccio didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 338 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.

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 Marseille - Ajaccio is eligible?

The compensation for flight MRS-AJA is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The impact of a strike on your Corse-Mediterranee compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Corse-Mediterranee staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Marseille Provence Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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