Legal right to compensation: Transavia France flight between Gran Canaria and Manchester

If your trip departing from Gran Canaria Airport and arriving at Manchester Airport operated by Transavia France was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 3 024 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Gran Canaria Airport (LPA)
  • Arrival airport: Manchester Airport (MAN)
  • Flight distance: 3 024 km (~3h47)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Transavia France.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Gran Canaria - Manchester is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Transavia France offers you a voucher for your Gran Canaria - Manchester flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Manchester.
  • 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 Transavia France (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Transavia France compensation

If your Transavia France flight from Gran Canaria Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Transavia France for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Transavia France systems.
