Refund and reimbursement for TACV: Boa Vista to Lisbon

The endless wait at Rabil Airport towards Lisbon with TACV doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when TACV fails its obligations on the 2 852 km route from Boa Vista to Lisbon.

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.

  • Arrival airport: Lisbon Portela Airport (LIS)
  • Flight distance: 2 852 km (~3h34)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This key legislation of European aviation rights covers nearly a billion passengers every year. Yet, over 85% don't bother because they don't know their rights.

How to know if the flight TACV Boa Vista - Lisbon is eligible?

Your entitlement depends on verifiable facts. Air traffic logs will confirm the exact time of door opening at Lisbon Portela Airport.

Remember that the distance of 2 852 km perfectly matches the 400€ compensation tier. This amount is net and {the airline|TACV} cannot deviate from it through its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for TACV to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your TACV compensation

A work stoppage by TACV's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.

Even if the 400€ are not payable due to an external strike at Boa Vista, assistance (meals/hotel) stays the responsibility of TACV. Never forget this.

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

An often-forgotten point: the right to care applies even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 400€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if TACV is exempt from the payout, care is still owed.

Your forced stay at Boa Vista should not cost you a single extra cent beyond your original booking for BVC→LIS. For a medium-haul, accommodation costs at Boa Vista can be significant — TACV must cover them.
