Flight compensation Air Malta:
Malta — Paris

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

If your trip departing from Luqa Airport and arriving at Charles de Gaulle International Airport operated by Air Malta was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Malta and Paris (1 755 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air Malta.

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.

Did you know? Even if Air Malta is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Luqa Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Paris. If Air Malta made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 755 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air Malta to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Paris.
• 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

If your Air Malta flight from Luqa Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Air Malta for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Luqa Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Air Malta?

For your Malta - Paris trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Air Malta staff at the Luqa Airport counter during the incident.

By entrusting your case regarding flight MLA-CDG to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

On the MLA-CDG line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Air Malta's legal department.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The first refusal from Air Malta should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Air Malta is often more striking.
