Compensation & claim for Ryanair: Beauvais to Zadar
The stress of a cancellation at Beauvais towards Zadar with Ryanair gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.
European legislation upholds passenger rights. For 1 168 km, the statutory payout applies if {the airline is at fault|Ryanair bears responsibility}. The short-haul bracket applies fully here.
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: Beauvais (BVA)
- Arrival airport: Zemunik Airport (ZAD)
- Flight distance: 1 168 km (~1h28)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.
How to know if the flight Ryanair Beauvais - Zadar is eligible?
To check if your journey between Beauvais and Zadar qualifies for compensation, the main criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Zemunik Airport}). It must exceed 3 hours.
