More in-depth information regarding the EU-regulation and your passenger rights.

Under what conditions is your flight delay with CityJet eligible for compensation?

The 2004 EU261 regulation clearly defines a flight delay as when an airline or its replacement arrives at your destination more than 3 hours later than expected. In this circumstance, you need to check to know if you might be entitled to compensation.

Note: the amount of compensation is dependent on the distance of the flight – not on the amount you paid for your ticket. Additionally, the flight must either take off or land in the European Union. In the case where it is landing in the European Union, the airline must also have its headquarters in the EU.

A CityJet passenger is entitled to compensation in the event of the following:

• Flight delay: If your CityJet flight arrives at your destination more than 3 hours later than expected.
• Flight Cancellation: if you were not informed of the cancellation or informed less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: If you had suffered a denied boarding due to overbooking of your flight.
• Missed connecting flight: If you missed a connecting flight due to a delay in one of the legs, and you arrived at your destination more than 3 hours later than expected.

Don’t take any excuses!

• Meal vouchers or accommodation (in the case of an overnight delay) do not suffice for compensation.
• All flight packages are covered by this regulation and only the person on the passenger manifest and who has suffered the delay, irrespective of who paid for the ticket, will receive compensation for the disturbance.
• Your claims are valid up to 6 years in the past.
• Only extraordinary circumstances such as union strikes or bad weather relieve the airline of this responsibility.

Here is an overview of which compensation you’ll be entitled to, based on the circumstances of your delay:

• Short distance flight delays – Below 1500km – Passengers are due €250 compensation from CityJet.
• Medium distance flight delays – Between 1500km and 3500km – Passengers are due €400 compensation from CityJet.
• Long distance flight delays – Over 3500km – Passengers are due €600 compensation from CityJet.

How to claim compensation from CityJet

Useful advice & information about CityJet

Founded in 1993, this Irish airline made its first big break when it partnered with Air France in 1996, but this relationship did not last long. The airline returned to a consortium of investors led by its original Pat Byrne. Since that time, CityJet has evolved to become one of the leading wet lease service providers in the aviation industry today.

CityJet also performs cruises for other brands: SAS, Air France, KLM, and Brussels Airlines, flying to major European cities including Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Manchester, Newcastle, and Florence.

Punctuality
On the punctuality scale, CityJet has not done badly. The airline has continued to maintain a fair position despite overwhelming challenges in the industry.

Poor Compensation Response
The customer service team at CityJet is responsive and has performed above average in dealing with claims associated with flight delays. Flightright has had a wonderful experience dealing with them when effecting CityJet compensation claims for our clients.
