United Feeder Service passengers Nantes-Geneva: what to do to file a claim

If your flight from Nantes Atlantique Airport to Geneva Cointrin International Airport flown by United Feeder Service was impacted, you are not alone when dealing with the airline.

Given the distance between Nantes and Geneva (597 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by United Feeder Service. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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 by no means a commercial courtesy from United Feeder Service, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if United Feeder Service proposes a voucher for your Nantes - Geneva flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 250€ guaranteed by the regulation.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Nantes, the CE 261 applies equally.

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

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