Flight compensation Air France:
Malta — Paris

Get your Air France flight compensation for the route Malta - Paris

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air France did not respect its scheduled times for your Malta - Paris 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 1 755 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Air France Malta - Paris is eligible?

The compensation for flight MLA-CDG is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The impact of a strike on your Air France compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Air France staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Luqa Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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