Flight compensation Ryanair:
Kerkyra/corfu — Charleroi

Your entitlement: Ryanair flight from Kerkyra/corfu to Charleroi

You were due to travel with Ryanair from Kerkyra/corfu to Charleroi and things went wrong? Regulation CE 261/2004 guarantees a payout in most cases.

With 1 706 km between Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport and Brussels South Charleroi Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 400€ per person.

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.

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU carrier, if the flight departs from Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport, EU regulation applies completely.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Kerkyra/corfu - Charleroi is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a travel credit for your Kerkyra/corfu → Charleroi flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 400€ provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you were notified less than 14 days before your departure from Kerkyra/corfu, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Not every strike{s} release the airline from its duties. If your Kerkyra/corfu → Charleroi delay was caused by an internal strike at Ryanair, EU courts have recently ruled that compensation is owed.

Even if the 400€ are not owed due to an external strike at Kerkyra/corfu, care (food/accommodation) remains owed Ryanair. This is a separate right.

What are your rights at Kerkyra/corfu airport in case of prolonged wait?

Most travellers are unaware that Ryanair is obliged to provide them meals, drinks and communications from the first hours at Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport. It's a right, not a favour.

In case of a overnight flight delay, the regulation requires that lodging and transport to and from Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport are entirely at the carrier's expense.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

To get started: submit a written complaint to Ryanair's claims department explicitly citing Regulation CE 261/2004 and {the 400€ amount|your specific claim}.

The main benefit: they take on all the complexity and only collect fees if the 400€ are successfully recovered.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Patience is often key. Airlines receive a huge volume of claims every week and your Kerkyra/corfu to Brussels South Charleroi Airport case can stall if you remain passive.

By choosing a "No Win, No Fee" service, you take no risk. If the 400€ aren't recovered, you owe nothing. As transparent as that.

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

Know that Ryanair doesn't need to justify its refusal immediately. But when you respond with documentation, the obligation to prove shifts {to the airline|onto Ryanair}.

The success rate of specialist firms against Ryanair approaches 98% when the claim is legitimate. This proves the strength of Regulation CE 261 against unjustified refusals.
