Legal right: Swiss International Air Lines flight between Mulhouse and London

If your journey from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport to London City Airport operated by Swiss International Air Lines was disrupted, the law protects you when dealing with the carrier.

With 692 km between EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport and London City Airport, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 250€ per passenger.

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 by no means a commercial courtesy from Swiss International Air Lines, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

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

The impact of a strike on your Swiss International Air Lines compensation

The question of strikes is a common friction point in claims. It is essential to differentiate between a strike by Swiss International Air Lines's employees (flight crew) and an external strike.

In all cases, careful analysis of flight logs will confirm whether the causes cited were truly extraordinary. ATC strikes have a proportionally stronger impact on short routes.

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

An unjustified rejection from Swiss International Air Lines is a tactic that specialist lawyers know how to dismantle by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

The Civil Aviation Authority or its European counterparts can be bureaucratic. A direct court claim against Swiss International Air Lines is often faster. For short-haul, the local small claims court is often competent.
