Flight compensation Transavia Holland:
Amsterdam — Gran Canaria

Claim and compensation for flight Transavia Holland Amsterdam - Gran Canaria

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 3 183 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.

Did you know? Even if Transavia Holland is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Transavia Holland Amsterdam - Gran Canaria is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Gran Canaria. If Transavia Holland made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Gran Canaria Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 3 183 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 Holland to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Transavia Holland compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Transavia Holland staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Amsterdam remains valid. The hotel is due if Transavia Holland offsets your flight by one night.

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