Compensation & claim for TUIfly: Duesseldorf to Kerkyra/corfu

The stress of a cancellation at Dusseldorf International Airport towards Kerkyra/corfu with TUIfly gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

The legal coverage under CE 261/2004 applies by law when TUIfly breaches its duties on the 1 650 km route from Duesseldorf to Kerkyra/corfu.

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, making Regulation 261/2004 a powerful tool against failings by carriers like TUIfly.

How to know if the flight TUIfly Duesseldorf - Kerkyra/corfu is eligible?

Note your actual arrival time at Kerkyra/corfu. If TUIfly made you wait more than three hours at Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Even if TUIfly offers a replacement flight, the 400€ indemnity remains owed if the final delay at Kerkyra/corfu is over the 180-minute threshold.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kerkyra/corfu.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

A work stoppage by TUIfly's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to air traffic control, TUIfly is exempted from the obligation to pay the 400€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.
