Flight compensation Air Moldova:
Bologna — Chisinau

Refund and compensation Air Moldova: route Bologna to Chisinau

If your trip departing from Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport and arriving at Chi?in?u International Airport operated by Air Moldova was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 392 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Air Moldova is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Air Moldova Bologna - Chisinau is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Chisinau. If Air Moldova made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Chi?in?u International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 392 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air Moldova to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Moldova compensation

A work stoppage of Air Moldova crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

A strike by weather services at Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Moldova has no control.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Bologna shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BLQ-KIV trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air Moldova?

Starting a procedure against Air Moldova for a flight from Bologna to Chisinau can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Air Moldova. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Air Moldova flight from Bologna can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Air Moldova's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Air Moldova will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
