Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Frankfurt — Catania

Procedure: Air Berlin flight compensation from Frankfurt to Catania

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air Berlin did not respect its scheduled times for your Frankfurt - Catania flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 490 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Frankfurt - Catania is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Catania / Fontanarossa Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Berlin owes you 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air Berlin FRA-CTA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Frankfurt.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Catania.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Frankfurt airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Berlin (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
