Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Gran Canaria - Bergamo
The LPA - BGY route operated by Ryanair 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 2 957 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.
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: Gran Canaria Airport (LPA)
- Arrival airport: Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport (BGY)
- Flight distance: 2 957 km (~3h42)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
This is not a commercial gesture from Ryanair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
How to know if the flight Ryanair Gran Canaria - Bergamo is eligible?
To determine if your trip between Gran Canaria and Bergamo entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.
Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.
What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bergamo.
-
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 Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Gran Canaria, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation
A work stoppage of Ryanair crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.
Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Ryanair 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?
During these long hours of waiting in the Gran Canaria 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.
In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Gran Canaria Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
