Air Transat complaint

In the event of delay or cancellation of your flight, European law imposes compensation to the passengers taking off from the European Union or having it as a destination.

However, since Air Transat is a Canadian airline, European regulations only apply when the flight is departing from the EU.

Time saving

By using a specialized company instead of contacting the airline yourself, you save a lot of time.

Legal experts to take charge of your steps

Sometimes the carrier fails to fulfill its obligations and refuses to compensate the passengers spontaneously. They are then required to make a claim first with the carrier and, if this does not succeed, with the competent authority in the country where the damage occurred.

We bring in legal experts to handle your case and act with the relevant authorities. If your file does not succeed, this service is totally free. If they succeed in getting you compensation for the damage, they take 30% commission on the amount that has been paid to you to cover our costs of procedure.
