If the driver is able to wait for the new arrival time for the delayed flight then after the first two hours of delay, AE reserve the right to make a charge of Twenty euros per hour to cover the cost of driver time while waiting. AE will do its best to monitor flight times and adjust its timetable accordingly to avoid this and customers are urged to let AE know of any flight delays or disruption.

However, if mediation is unsuccessful, then the matter of the dispute will be referred to a formal litigation process through the French courts.
