Flight delayed for more than 2 hours, you have the right to be taken care of

A wildcat strike, also known as an unofficial strike, can be unexpected and leave you stranded. If your Corsairfly flight has been delayed by over 2 hours, you’re entitled to food, drink, and accommodation if necessary. The airline may provide vouchers for these, but if not, be sure to keep receipts to claim expenses from the airline later.

You are not required to accept an alternate flight from Corsairfly

In case of a disruption, the airline must offer you an alternative flight free of charge. The airline should provide you with the first possible flight, but if all the next flights are fully booked, you might receive an alternative option that may not make sense for your travel plans.

You have the right to decline the proposed flight. The airline must then refund you the ticket price. If the airline does not offer you an alternative or if you find a better option yourself, the airline must reimburse you for the price difference between the two tickets.

Advice: It’s recommended that you wait for an official update from Corsairfly before taking any action

Although you may want to secure a new flight as soon as possible, it’s important to avoid booking an alternative flight until you receive confirmation from Corsairfly that your flight has been cancelled, as there may be few other flights available from other airlines. If the strike is called off, you will lose your money.

Affected by the strike of Corsairfly? 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, Corsairfly 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.
