File your refund for SATA Air Acores Flores → Corvo

The stress of a cancellation at Flores Airport towards Corvo with SATA Air Acores gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

The legal coverage under CE 261/2004 applies by law when SATA Air Acores breaches its duties on the 24 km route from Flores to Corvo.

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

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

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

Your entitlement depends on verifiable facts. Eurocontrol data will confirm the exact time of door opening at Corvo Airport.

Even if SATA Air Acores reroutes you, the 250€ compensation still applies if the arrival at Corvo exceeds 3 hours.

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

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Corvo.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Flores 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 Flores, 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

Be wary by SATA Air Acores's evasive wording: a "wildcat" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

A strike by air traffic control at Flores Airport or Eurocontrol is an independent circumstance over which SATA Air Acores cannot act.

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

Most travellers are unaware that SATA Air Acores is obliged to provide them meals, drinks and communications from the first hours at Flores Airport. It's a right, not a favour.

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at Flores still applies. The hotel must be provided if SATA Air Acores delays your flight overnight.
