Claim and compensation for flight Germania Tenerife - Bremen

The TFS - BRE route operated by Germania experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Tenerife and Bremen (3 472 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Germania.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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: Tenerife South Airport (TFS)
  • Arrival airport: Bremen Airport (BRE)
  • Flight distance: 3 472 km (~4h20)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This is not a commercial gesture from Germania, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Germania Tenerife - Bremen is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Bremen. If Germania made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Bremen Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 3 472 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Germania to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Germania compensation

A work stoppage of Germania crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Tenerife, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Germania.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Tenerife South Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Tenerife shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your TFS-BRE trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Germania?

For your Tenerife - Bremen trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Germania staff at the Tenerife South Airport counter during the incident.

By entrusting your case regarding flight TFS-BRE to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Airlines like Germania sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Germania flight from Tenerife can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Tenerife - Bremen line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
