Flybe passengers Helsinki-Tartu: what to do to file a claim

The flight HEL → TAY by Flybe suffered an incident? Delay, cancellation or overbooking, you may be entitled to a legal payout.

Given the distance between Helsinki and Tartu (244 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by Flybe. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

Good to know? Even if Flybe is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Helsinki Vantaa Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

How to know if the flight Flybe Helsinki - Tartu is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Tartu|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Flybe is responsible for|the fault lies with} Flybe.

An class change doesn't change your right to 250€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

What are the conditions for Flybe to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tartu.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Helsinki airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Flybe (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Flybe compensation

Don't be misled by Flybe's vague terms: a "spontaneous" or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

A strike by ATC services at Helsinki Vantaa Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which Flybe has no control.

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

Once the delay exceeds the legal trigger, i.e. 2 hours for flights ≤1500 km, Flybe is obliged to deliver the required assistance to every passenger{s} stranded at Helsinki.

The full package of assistance includes: refreshments, hot meals if the delay warrants it, two free communications, and accommodation plus transfers if the flight is postponed. Everything at the expense of Flybe.
