Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Duesseldorf — Venice

Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Duesseldorf - Venice

If your trip departing from Dusseldorf International Airport and arriving at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport operated by Air Berlin was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 763 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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 Air Berlin.
