How to be compensated by Air Berlin on the Stuttgart (STR) - Olbia (OLB) line

From Stuttgart Airport airport, your departure with Air Berlin to Olbia didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 867 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Air Berlin to pay you financial compensation.

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: Stuttgart Airport (STR)
  • Arrival airport: Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB)
  • Flight distance: 867 km (~1h05)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 Stuttgart - Olbia is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Olbia / Costa Smeralda 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 STR-OLB flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Stuttgart.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation

A work stoppage of Air Berlin crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Stuttgart, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Berlin.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Stuttgart Airport airport, Air Berlin is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Stuttgart Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

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

Getting justice against carrier Air Berlin requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Air Berlin flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Air Berlin. An expert can reduce this time by half.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

Don't take Air Berlin's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Air Berlin convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
