If your delay exceeds 2 hours, you are entitled to care
If you find yourself dealing with an unplanned wildcat strike, you may feel caught off guard. In the event that your Air Corsica flight is delayed for more than 2 hours, you have the right to food, drink, and lodging, as needed. The airline may provide vouchers for these expenses, but it’s important to keep receipts in case you need to claim reimbursement later on.
Accepting an alternative flight from Air Corsica is not obligatory
The airline has to provide you with a free alternative flight. They are supposed to offer you the first available flight, but if all the upcoming flights are overbooked, you may receive an alternative option that makes your travel pointless. If you reject the proposed flight, the airline must refund the ticket price, and if they don’t provide an alternative, they need to reimburse the price difference if you book a better option yourself.
Tip: Before doing anything, it’s best to wait for a final notice from Air Corsica
There may be few alternative flights available from other airlines. Of course, you want to secure another flight as soon as possible. However, we advise you not to book an alternative flight yourself before you have received final confirmation from Air Corsica that your flight has been cancelled. If the strike is called off, you will lose your money.
Affected by the strike of Air Corsica? You are entitled to compensation
In the event of a strike by the airline’s own personnel, such as pilots, cabin crew, or ground staff, Air Corsica can be held accountable. According to Regulation 261/2004, this is not considered force majeure, and you have the right to compensation if your arrival is delayed by more than 3 hours or you arrive 1 hour earlier.
The compensation amount is based on the distance of your travel and whether the cancellation of your flight was communicated less than 2 weeks before your departure.
The amount of compensation is not dependent on your ticket price. It is possible that the compensation you receive is higher than the cost of your ticket. The amount of compensation is determined based on the distance of the journey.
