A work stoppage of Transavia France 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, Transavia France is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

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