Flight compensation VOLOTEA Airways:
Figari — Nantes

How to be compensated by VOLOTEA Airways on the Figari (FSC) - Nantes (NTE) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If VOLOTEA Airways did not respect its scheduled times for your Figari - Nantes flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 057 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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 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 VOLOTEA Airways Figari - Nantes is eligible?

For an VOLOTEA Airways flight from Figari to Nantes, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If VOLOTEA Airways sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Figari Sud-Corse Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for VOLOTEA Airways to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your VOLOTEA Airways compensation

A work stoppage of VOLOTEA Airways crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Figari, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for VOLOTEA Airways.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. VOLOTEA Airways must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Figari.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Figari Sud-Corse Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
