Does EU261 apply to Air Tindi?+

Can I claim if my Air Tindi 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 Tindi?+
Claim free through Air Tindi’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 Tindi 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.
