Corse-Mediterranee passengers Nantes-Ajaccio: your guide to get compensated

You travelled with Corse-Mediterranee from Nantes to Ajaccio and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

With 1 008 km between Nantes Atlantique Airport and Ajaccio, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 250€ per passenger.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Nantes Atlantique Airport (NTE)
  • Arrival airport: Ajaccio (AJA)
  • Flight distance: 1 008 km (~1h16)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is not a goodwill gesture from Corse-Mediterranee, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Three conditions must be met to trigger your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Ajaccio|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Corse-Mediterranee is responsible for|the fault lies with} Corse-Mediterranee.

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

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Nantes airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Corse-Mediterranee (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Nantes, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The complete chain of care comprises: drinks and snacks, full meals proportionate to the wait, calls or emails, and hotel with shuttles if an overnight stay is needed. All of this paid by Corse-Mediterranee.

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

The prospect of legal proceedings is frequently enough to {make Corse-Mediterranee yield|unlock payment}. Airlines calculate that litigation costs would far exceed the 250€ claimed.
