Procedure: VOLOTEA Airways flight compensation from Nantes to Olbia

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If VOLOTEA Airways did not respect its scheduled times for your Nantes - Olbia 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 1 127 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Nantes Atlantique Airport (NTE)
  • Arrival airport: Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB)
  • Flight distance: 1 127 km (~1h25)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight VOLOTEA Airways Nantes - Olbia is eligible?

For an VOLOTEA Airways flight from Nantes to Olbia, 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 Nantes Atlantique 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 Olbia.
  • 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 VOLOTEA Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

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 Nantes, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for VOLOTEA Airways.

What are your rights at Nantes 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 Nantes.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Nantes Atlantique Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by VOLOTEA Airways.
