Does EU261 apply to Air Saint-Pierre?+
Yes. Air Saint-Pierre is an EU-based airline, so EU261 covers its flights departing the EU and its flights into the EU.
Can I claim if my Air Saint-Pierre flight was cancelled?+
Usually, if you were told less than 14 days before departure and the cause was within the airline’s control, unless you were rerouted close to your original times. You can also choose a refund or rerouting.
How do I claim compensation from Air Saint-Pierre?+
Claim free through Air Saint-Pierre’s complaint or claim form on its website, keeping your boarding pass and booking reference. If it refuses or doesn’t answer within 2 months, go to the national enforcement body, or use a no-win, no-fee service such as AirHelp.
What if Air Saint-Pierre says it was extraordinary circumstances?+
Bad weather, air traffic control decisions and security risks are genuine exceptions. Most technical faults and strikes by the airline’s own staff are not, so ask for the reason in writing and challenge a refusal you think is wrong.
