Flight compensation Transavia France:
Malta — Nantes

Claim and compensation for flight Transavia France Malta - Nantes

The MLA - NTE route operated by Transavia France experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 830 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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Transavia France, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Transavia France Malta - Nantes is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Malta and Nantes entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 1 830 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Transavia France compensation

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 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Malta, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Transavia France.

What are your rights at Malta 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.

Your forced stay at Malta shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your MLA-NTE trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Transavia France?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Transavia France boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Luqa Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Transavia France. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Transavia France flight from Malta can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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 Malta - Nantes line.

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.
