Canceled flight ? How to claim compensation from Corsair?
The compensation form at your fingertips
When a Corsair flight gets canceled, getting your money back for the tickets is just a piece of the cake. There is also this issue of compensation that comes into play, according to the rules in place.
Corsair, faced with unforeseen travel events such as canceled flights, strictly complies with legal obligations to ensure the rights of its passengers.
When disruptions occur, the French company ensures that it quickly informs its customers of the options available, in accordance with regulations. This includes immediate measures to minimize discomfort: provision of meals, refreshments, and, if necessary, accommodation, while waiting for travel to resume.
In the event of significant delays or cancellations, Corsair compensates passengers, an approach dictated by law rather than by a voluntary initiative of the company. Passengers are therefore entitled to a refund or rerouting, in addition to financial compensation according to the criteria defined by international regulations.
How is your compensation calculated?
Corsair’s compensation system for air service interruptions adheres to the guidelines of EC Regulation 261/2004, thus establishing a mechanism where every route not flown becomes an opportunity to earn a nice sum of money. This procedure is implemented to alleviate inconvenience and provide cost-effective assistance to passengers facing unexpected changes in their travel itineraries.

It is essential, however, to recognize the nuances and exceptions that govern these compensations. The responsibilities of the French airline, including the need to inform travelers well in advance of cancellation (at least 14 days before departure) and extraordinary circumstances exempting the company from compensation, are fundamental aspects of this framework.
Cases of force majeure which may exempt Corsair from any obligation to compensate include: Airspace closures by government decision for security reasons; Serious health alerts imposing travel restrictions; Political or military instabilities affecting flight safety; Natural disasters hampering airport operations; Environmental emergency measures impacting air travel; Major adverse weather conditions; Unpredictable events threatening the security of operations; Public emergency or national security situations; Strike by airport staff including air traffic controllers; Critical structural anomalies in air infrastructure.
