Flight compensation Air Malta:
Geneva — Malta

Get your Air Malta flight compensation for the route Geneva - Malta

From Geneva Cointrin International Airport airport, your departure with Air Malta to Malta didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 349 km of flight, the company Air Malta is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 Malta Geneva - Malta is eligible?

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Air Malta sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Geneva Cointrin International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Air Malta to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Malta compensation

A work stoppage of Air Malta 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 Geneva, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Malta.

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

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Geneva Cointrin International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
