How to get compensated from Twin Jet on Geneva (GVA) - Marseille (MRS)

Your Twin Jet flight from Geneva to Marseille was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Fortunately, for this route of 319 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Twin Jet to pay you a fixed indemnity. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Geneva Cointrin International Airport (GVA)
  • Arrival airport: Marseille Provence Airport (MRS)
  • Flight distance: 319 km (~0h24)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Unlike what {many think|Twin Jet might suggest}, this payout doesn't depend on the fare. A €30 ticket gives the same rights as an €800 booking.

How to know if the flight Twin Jet Geneva - Marseille is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at Marseille Provence Airport. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Twin Jet owes you 250€.

To recap: three scenarios activate the 250€ payment on Twin Jet Geneva→Marseille: delay ≥3h, cancellation <14 days, or overbooking. Check which applies without delay.

What are the conditions for Twin Jet to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Geneva, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Twin Jet compensation

The rule is simple: if Twin Jet's employees go on strike, it is a risk that {the airline|Twin Jet} must manage. Consequently, {your compensation|the 250€} is maintained.

However, if air traffic controllers at Geneva Cointrin International Airport or security staff go on strike, this is indeed an force majeure situation. In this case, the 250€ cannot be claimed.

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

Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 2 hours for flights ≤1500 km, Twin Jet must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Geneva.

If your replacement flight is only the next day, Twin Jet must also cover your hotel night close to Geneva Cointrin International Airport and the shuttle transfer between the airport and accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Twin Jet?

The formal letter of claim and gathering evidence of the delay at Marseille Provence Airport (boarding pass) are essential steps to pressure {the airline|Twin Jet}.
