Flight compensation Air Malta:
Malta — Budapest

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

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Malta and Budapest with Air Malta? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 346 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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 Malta - Budapest is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Budapest Listz Ferenc international 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 Luqa 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 Budapest.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Malta 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Budapest Listz Ferenc international Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

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 250 € will not be due.

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