Flight compensation Air Malta:

Legal right to compensation: Air Malta flight between Malta and Catania

If your trip departing from Luqa Airport and arriving at Catania / Fontanarossa Airport operated by Air Malta was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Malta and Catania (186 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air Malta.
