Flight compensation Iberia Airlines:
Gran Canaria — Paris

Procedure: Iberia Airlines flight compensation from Gran Canaria to Paris

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Gran Canaria and Paris with Iberia Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 768 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

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 Iberia Airlines Gran Canaria - Paris is eligible?

For an Iberia Airlines flight from Gran Canaria to Paris, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Gran Canaria Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Gran Canaria - Paris trip is due to an internal strike within Iberia Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Iberia Airlines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Iberia Airlines must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Gran Canaria.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Gran Canaria Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Iberia Airlines.
