Flight compensation United Feeder Service:
Geneva — Ibiza

Legal right to compensation: United Feeder Service flight between Geneva and Ibiza

The GVA - IBZ route operated by United Feeder Service experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 906 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.

This is not a commercial gesture from United Feeder Service, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Geneva - Ibiza is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Geneva and Ibiza entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Geneva, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for United Feeder Service to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Ibiza.
• 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 United Feeder Service (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Geneva - Ibiza trip is due to an internal strike within United Feeder Service, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Geneva Cointrin International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which United Feeder Service has no control.

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

If Geneva Cointrin International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of United Feeder Service, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from United Feeder Service?

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company United Feeder Service will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
