Your entitlement: PAN Air flight from Antigua to Gustavia

You were due to travel with PAN Air from Antigua to Gustavia and things went wrong? Regulation CE 261/2004 guarantees a payout in most cases.

With 140 km between V.C. Bird International Airport and Gustaf III Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 250€ per person.

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: V.C. Bird International Airport (ANU)
  • Arrival airport: Gustaf III Airport (SBH)
  • Flight distance: 140 km (~0h11)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from PAN Air, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight PAN Air Antigua - Gustavia is eligible?

Be sure to save your flight records for the PAN Air ANU→SBH flight. They constitute the key proof of your check-in.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Antigua, the CE 261 applies equally.

What are the conditions for PAN Air to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your PAN Air compensation

When a strike impacts your route to Gustaf III Airport, {the airline|PAN Air} will likely attempt to dodge liability. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in most cases, valid grounds for refusal.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Every week of delay in processing your Antigua→Gustavia case potentially accrues late-payment penalties {in your favour|against PAN Air}. This is a lever that experts use systematically.

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

The template response from PAN Air citing "extraordinary circumstances" for your Antigua-Gustavia flight is a well-known tactic. Weather records are accessible and can confirm or refute every claim.

The national CAA or its EU equivalents can be slow. A private legal action against PAN Air is often faster. For short-haul, the local small claims court is often competent.
