Claim and compensation for flight United Feeder Service Paris - Palermo

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

Given the route between Paris and Palermo (1 454 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by United Feeder Service.

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

Did you know? Even if United Feeder Service is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Paris-Orly Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Paris - Palermo is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Palermo. If United Feeder Service made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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

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

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

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 Paris - Palermo 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 Paris, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for United Feeder Service.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Paris-Orly Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Paris remains valid. The hotel is due if United Feeder Service offsets your flight by one night.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

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.
