Claiming from Air Corsica: what to know
Air Corsica is Corsica's regional airline, based in Ajaccio and Bastia, linking the island with mainland France and other European cities. As an EU airline, it is bound by EU 261 on all its flights.
Before you claim
- 01
Weather isn't an automatic excuse. Air Corsica must show the conditions actually prevented your flight — ask for the specific reason in writing.
- 02
Most Corsica–mainland flights are under 1,500 km, which means €250 per passenger for a delay of three hours or more at arrival.
- 03
Many Corsica routes run under public service obligations. That doesn't change your rights: EU 261 applies in full.

Departing a UK airport
Under UK 261: £220 to £520 per passenger
Air Corsica holds an EU operating licence, so it owes compensation on flights into Europe from outside as well.
Compensation
How much Air Corsica owes you
The amount is fixed by flight distance. A €20 promo fare and a flexible business ticket are worth exactly the same.
Up to 1,500 km
€250
e.g. Dublin–London, Barcelona–Paris
1,500–3,500 km
€400
e.g. London–Athens, Madrid–Warsaw
Over 3,500 km
€600
e.g. Frankfurt–New York, Paris–Doha
Per passenger — for arrival delays of three hours or more, short-notice cancellations and denied boarding.
Flights within the EU over 1,500 km are always paid at €400.
Common pushback
What Air Corsica may say — and what the law says
A rejection is where most claims start, not where they end. These are the replies we challenge most often.
“It was a technical problem.”
Faults found during normal operation are part of running an airline. Courts rarely accept them as extraordinary circumstances.
“The weather was bad.”
Only weather that made your specific flight unsafe counts. We check the claim against meteorological and airport records.
“The aircraft arrived late from its previous flight.”
A knock-on delay only excuses the airline if the original cause was itself extraordinary — and the airline has to prove it.
“Our crew went on strike.”
A strike by the airline's own staff is within its control. The European Court of Justice has ruled it does not exempt the carrier.
“We already gave you meal vouchers.”
Meals, hotels and rebooking are care, not compensation. Accepting them never waives your right to be paid.

FAQ
Air Corsica compensation questions
Still unsure? Check your flight for free — it takes two minutes and commits you to nothing.
How much compensation can I get from Air Corsica?
Between €250 and €600 per passenger, depending on flight distance. Delays must be three hours or more at arrival, and cancellations must be announced less than 14 days before departure. What you paid for the ticket makes no difference.
Can I claim from Air Corsica myself?
Yes, filing with Air Corsica directly is free. Many passengers come to us because first claims are often rejected or ignored — we handle the follow-up, the regulator and court if needed, and only charge if you get paid.
How far back can I claim against Air Corsica?
It depends on the country where the claim is filed. Limitation periods are set nationally and range from about one year to six years, so flights from the last few years are often still claimable. Check yours for free.
Air Corsica rebooked me or gave me vouchers. Can I still claim?
Usually, yes. Rebooking, meals and hotel rooms are duties of care and don't replace compensation. Only an agreement where you explicitly gave up your compensation would change that.
How long does Air Corsica take to pay?
Straightforward claims are often settled within a few weeks to a few months. If Air Corsica refuses and the claim goes to a regulator or court, it can take longer. We keep you updated at every step.
What if Air Corsica blames extraordinary circumstances?
Ask for specifics. Severe weather, air traffic control restrictions and security threats can be extraordinary, but technical faults and strikes by the airline's own staff usually aren't. We check the explanation against independent data before accepting it.
