Refund and compensation Aeroflot Russian Airlines: route Barcelona to Moscow

The BCN - SVO route operated by Aeroflot Russian Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Barcelona International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 3 017 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Aeroflot Russian Airlines.

How to know if the flight Aeroflot Russian Airlines Barcelona - Moscow is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Aeroflot Russian Airlines offers you a voucher for your Barcelona - Moscow flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 3 017 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Barcelona - Moscow line.
