Refund and compensation Nouvel Air Tunisie: route Lyon to Tunis

The LYS - TUN route operated by Nouvel Air Tunisie experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 076 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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: Lyon (LYS)
  • Arrival airport: Tunis Carthage International Airport (TUN)
  • Flight distance: 1 076 km (~1h21)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Nouvel Air Tunisie offers you a voucher for your Lyon - Tunis flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.
