Procedure: VOLOTEA Airways flight compensation from Strasbourg to Ajaccio

From Strasbourg Airport airport, your departure with VOLOTEA Airways to Ajaccio didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 741 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires VOLOTEA Airways to pay you financial compensation.

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: Strasbourg Airport (SXB)
  • Arrival airport: Ajaccio (AJA)
  • Flight distance: 741 km (~0h56)
  • 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 VOLOTEA Airways Strasbourg - Ajaccio is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Strasbourg Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for VOLOTEA Airways to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your VOLOTEA Airways compensation

Don't be fooled by VOLOTEA Airways's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Strasbourg Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which VOLOTEA Airways has no control.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Strasbourg Airport, VOLOTEA Airways must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Strasbourg Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
