Flight compensation Tunisair:
Duesseldorf — Tunis

Procedure: Tunisair flight compensation from Duesseldorf to Tunis

From Dusseldorf International Airport airport, your departure with Tunisair to Tunis didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 629 km of flight, the company Tunisair is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Tunisair Duesseldorf - Tunis is eligible?

For an Tunisair flight from Duesseldorf to Tunis, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Tunisair to compensate you?

The impact of a strike on your Tunisair compensation

A work stoppage of Tunisair 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, Tunisair 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 Duesseldorf airport in case of prolonged wait?
