Delayed flights. Real compensation.

French Bee is a French low-cost long-haul carrier based at Paris Orly, offering affordable direct flights to Tahiti, Réunion, and other exotic destinations. Its fleet of 18 aircraft includes Airbus A330-200s, A350-900s, A350-1000s, and a Fokker 50 used for inter-island operations, with an average age of 9.1 years. French Bee's ultra-long-haul focus means passengers are especially exposed to long delays — but also to higher compensation thresholds under EC 261/2004. Flights exceeding 3,500 km where the delay is more than 4 hours can result in a compensation claim of up to €600. EU passengers departing from Orly on disrupted French Bee flights should check their eligibility. EU Regulation EC 261/2004 entitles you to fixed compensation — regardless of what the airline tells you.
