Before making a complaint about Air France
Keep in mind that to officially lodge a complaint against Air France, you must have already brought the issue to Air France’s customer service in writing.
Upon submitting your complaint, you should either have received a final written response also referred to as a ‘deadlock letter’ or allowed Air France eight weeks to respond to your dispute. At AviationADR, we manage complaints that have not been resolved by the airline directly.
