Procedure: SATA Air Acores flight compensation from Corvo to Flores

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Corvo and Flores with SATA Air Acores? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 24 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires SATA Air Acores to pay you financial compensation.

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: Corvo Airport (CVU)
  • Arrival airport: Flores Airport (FLW)
  • Flight distance: 24 km (~0h02)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight SATA Air Acores Corvo - Flores is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Flores Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, SATA Air Acores owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Corvo Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for SATA Air Acores to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your SATA Air Acores compensation

If your SATA Air Acores flight from Corvo Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Corvo Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Corvo airport in case of prolonged wait?

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. SATA Air Acores must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Corvo.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Corvo Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
