  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Eastern Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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