Flight compensation Transavia Holland:
Rotterdam — Gerona

Legal right to compensation: Transavia Holland flight between Rotterdam and Gerona

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 125 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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 Holland.

How to know if the flight Transavia Holland Rotterdam - Gerona is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Rotterdam and Gerona 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 1 125 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. 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 Gerona.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rotterdam 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

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

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Rotterdam - Gerona flight.

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