How to be compensated by United Feeder Service on the Palermo (PMO) - Paris (ORY) line

From Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport airport, your departure with United Feeder Service to Paris didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 454 km of flight, the company United Feeder Service is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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: Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport (PMO)
  • Arrival airport: Paris-Orly Airport (ORY)
  • Flight distance: 1 454 km (~1h49)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 United Feeder Service Palermo - Paris is eligible?

For an United Feeder Service flight from Palermo to Paris, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

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 Palermo - Paris trip is due to an internal strike within United Feeder Service, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Palermo, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for United Feeder Service.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport airport, United Feeder Service is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.
