Flight compensation Air Malta:
Glasgow — Malta

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

From Glasgow 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 2 645 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 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

For an Air Malta flight from Glasgow to Malta, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air Malta GLA-MLA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Glasgow.

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 Glasgow 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

Don't be fooled by Air Malta's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Air Malta is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Glasgow International Airport airport, Air Malta is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

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