Claim and compensation for flight SATA Air Acores Corvo - Horta

Your claim for compensation for the SATA Air Acores flight from Corvo to Horta deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 243 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from SATA Air Acores, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

To determine if your trip between Corvo and Horta entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

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

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Corvo airport.
