Flight compensation TCX:
Gran Canaria — East Midlands

Procedure: TCX flight compensation from Gran Canaria to East Midlands

From Gran Canaria Airport airport, your departure with TCX to East Midlands didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 3 001 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

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 TCX Gran Canaria - East Midlands is eligible?

For an TCX flight from Gran Canaria to East Midlands, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the TCX LPA-EMA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Gran Canaria.

What are the conditions for TCX to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your TCX compensation

A work stoppage of TCX crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, TCX is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. TCX must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Gran Canaria.

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

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Gran Canaria - East Midlands line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company TCX will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
