Flight compensation Transavia France:
Paris — Malta

Claim and compensation for flight Transavia France Paris - Malta

Your claim for compensation for the Transavia France flight from Paris to Malta deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Paris and Malta (1 738 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Transavia France.

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.

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 Paris - Malta is eligible?

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Paris, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Transavia France to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Malta.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Paris 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 €.

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 are your rights at Paris airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Paris-Orly Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Transavia France, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Paris shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your ORY-MLA 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 Paris-Orly Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 400 € arrive in your bank account.

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

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 Paris - Malta line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
