Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Malaga - Palma de Mallorca

If your trip departing from Malaga and arriving at Palma De Mallorca Airport operated by Air Berlin was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 709 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Malaga (AGP)
  • Arrival airport: Palma De Mallorca Airport (PMI)
  • Flight distance: 709 km (~0h53)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is not a commercial gesture from Air Berlin, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Malaga - Palma de Mallorca is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Palma de Mallorca. If Air Berlin made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Palma De Mallorca Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Malaga, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Palma De Mallorca Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Malaga - Palma de Mallorca flight.

What are your rights at Malaga airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Malaga airport becomes your temporary residence because of Air Berlin, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Malaga airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air Berlin?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Air Berlin boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Malaga airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

By entrusting your case regarding flight AGP-PMI to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

On the AGP-PMI line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Air Berlin's legal department.

Recovering 250 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Air Berlin systems.

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Air Berlin is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Air Berlin is often more striking.
