About Air Antilles Express
What can I claim from Air Antilles Express if my flight is delayed?
Air Antilles Express is a company that operates thousands of flights a day, so it is not surprising that delays and cancellations of its flights occur. In the event that the flight is delayed for more than 2 hours, the company's ground staff must offer free food and drink tickets. Depending on the necessary waiting time, the user is entitled to two telephone calls, fax messages or e-mails.
In the event of a delay on your flight with Air Antilles Express, a number of issues are very important. If you have arrived at your destination at least 3 hours later than planned, you can get up to 600 euros compensation per flight. If the flight delay is 2 hours, the user can make a claim for up to 250 euros.
If your Air Antilles Express flight is delayed for more than 5 hours, in addition to assistance, you are entitled to a refund, within 7 days, of the full cost of the unused leg(s). It may also be the case that Air Antilles Express must provide you with a return flight to the first point of departure if you have already made the first leg and miss the connecting flight.
If it is necessary to spend the night on the ground, Air Antilles Express must provide accommodation, meals and travel to and from the airport from the place of accommodation. In addition, reimbursement and return flight.
What is the flight delay compensation for Air Antilles Express?
Delay in Air Antilles Express entitles the customer to compensation calculated according to the time of arrival at the destination. If you arrive at your destination 3 hours or more after the scheduled time, up to 600 euros can be claimed. If it is not more than 2 hours, then the amount is 250 euros. If it is more than 2 hours, but less than 3 hours, then the amount should be around 400 Euros.
The reasons why Air Antilles Express can be exempted from this concept is if the delay is due to extraordinary circumstances, such as weather conditions. The amount to be received can also vary depending on the distance to the destination.
Up to 1500 km, the amount to be claimed will be 250 euros. Between 1501 and 3500 km, it will be 400 euros. If the distance exceeds 3500 km, then the amount to be claimed will increase to 600 euros.
What is Air Antilles Express's compensation for flight cancellation?
Air Antilles Express is a low-cost airline. In 2017 there was one of the largest flight cancellations, a reason given by the company in order to improve its punctuality and increase its operational capacity. In 2018 there were also cancellations caused by the TCP strike. Whatever the context, Air Antilles Express can cover its back if you are given more than 14 days' notice of cancellation. If you are not given this notice and it is not a case of force majeure, they are obliged to pay you the financial compensation required by the European regulation.
In case of cancellation, with less than 14 days (and of course if it is at the last minute or with a margin of a few days) by the airline company Air Antilles Express, the passenger has to be compensated for the flight. The only exception is if the cancellation is due to extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided (political instability, weather conditions incompatible with the operation of the flight, safety risks, unexpected flight safety shortcomings, airport congestion, air traffic management and strikes affecting the air carrier's operations).
If Air Antilles Express gives the passenger between two weeks and seven days notice of cancellation of the flight in advance of the scheduled departure time, and if the passenger is offered re-routing that allows him or her to depart no more than two hours before the original departure time, then he or she cannot claim compensation for the cancellation. In addition, you must also ensure that Air Antilles Express arrives at your final destination less than four hours later than the scheduled arrival time on the originally contracted flight.
If the passenger is given less than seven days' notice of the scheduled departure time and is not offered an alternative flight, which allows him/her to depart no more than one hour before the original departure time of his/her flight, then the passenger of Air Antilles Express may claim under similar conditions as for the delay. The criterion will be according to the length of the flight for a higher or lower amount: for flights of less than 1,500 km it will be EUR 250.
For intra-Community flights of more than 1,500 km the amount will rise to 400 euros and for the rest of the trips, between 1,500 and 3,500 km, in addition to the rest of the flights not included in the previous points, the amount will rise to 600 euros. Compensation is paid by bank transfer.
What should Air Antilles Express compensate in case of overbooking?
In the event that Air Antilles Express is overbooked, then the airline has to pay compensation to the passenger.
It may happen that, for various reasons, the aircraft cannot operate with all passengers on board. In this situation of 'overbooking', according to the provisions of EC Regulation 261/04, Air Antilles Express has to look for volunteers who can change the date or time of their flight in exchange for compensation and assistance. If not enough volunteers are found, passengers who cannot fly will be entitled to compensation, assistance and reimbursement of the ticket or re-routing.
What are my rights if Air Antilles Express has denied me boarding due to overbooking?
In the case of Air Antilles Express overbooking, compensation will depend on the distance of the flight and the hours of delay in arriving at your destination. You will be entitled to compensation, which you can request through the Air Antilles Express customer service.
For flights of less than 1500 km, the amount will be 250 euros. For flights between 1501 and 3500 km, the amount rises to 400 euros. For overbooked flights over 3500 km, the compensation can be up to 600 euros.
