Know the airline
Claiming from Tunisair: what to know
Tunisair is Tunisia's national airline, based at Tunis-Carthage, flying mainly to France, Italy and Germany. It is not an EU airline, so EU 261 covers its flights departing EU airports.
Before you claim
- 01
Flights from Europe to Tunisia are covered; Tunisair's own flights from Tunisia back to Europe are not.
- 02
Tunisair often leases aircraft and crews from European airlines. If an EU airline operated your flight from Tunisia, that flight is covered after all.
- 03
Most flights from Italy, France and southern Germany to Tunis are under 1,500 km (€250 per passenger). From northern Germany, Belgium or the Netherlands they typically reach €400.

Which Tunisair flights are covered
What counts is the route and the airline's licence — not where you bought the ticket, what you paid or which passport you hold.

Departing a UK airport
Under UK 261: £220 to £520 per passenger
Tunisair is not an EU/EEA airline, so its flights into Europe from outside are not covered. Flights departing the EU/EEA or the UK always are.
Compensation
How much Tunisair 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 Tunisair 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
Tunisair 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 Tunisair?
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 Tunisair myself?
Yes, filing with Tunisair 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 Tunisair?
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.
Tunisair 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 Tunisair take to pay?
Straightforward claims are often settled within a few weeks to a few months. If Tunisair refuses and the claim goes to a regulator or court, it can take longer. We keep you updated at every step.
What if Tunisair 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.
