Flight compensation Air Europa:
Milano — Madrid

Legal right to compensation: Air Europa flight between Milano and Madrid

The MXP - MAD route operated by Air Europa experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Malpensa International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 150 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Air Europa is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Malpensa International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Air Europa Milano - Madrid is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Madrid. If Air Europa made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Madrid Barajas International 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 Europa to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Europa compensation

If your Air Europa flight from Malpensa International Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Malpensa International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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