Procedure: Transavia France flight compensation from Nantes to Athens

From Nantes Atlantique Airport airport, your departure with Transavia France to Athens 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 2 317 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Nantes Atlantique Airport (NTE)
  • Arrival airport: Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH)
  • Flight distance: 2 317 km (~2h54)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The compensation for flight NTE-ATH is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Transavia France sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Nantes Atlantique Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

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

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

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 €.

A strike by weather services at Nantes Atlantique Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Transavia France has no control.

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

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

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

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

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Transavia France.

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.

By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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 Nantes - Athens line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Transavia France convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
