Procedure: Air Moldova flight compensation from Milano to Chisinau

From Malpensa International Airport airport, your departure with Air Moldova to Chisinau didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 555 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Malpensa International Airport (MXP)
  • Arrival airport: Chi?in?u International Airport (KIV)
  • Flight distance: 1 555 km (~1h57)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 Moldova Milano - Chisinau is eligible?

For an Air Moldova flight from Milano to Chisinau, 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 Moldova MXP-KIV flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Milano.

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 Milano airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Moldova (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Milano, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Air Moldova compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Milano - Chisinau trip is due to an internal strike within Air Moldova, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Milano, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Moldova.

What are your rights at Milano 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 Malpensa International Airport airport, Air Moldova 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 Malpensa International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

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

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Chi?in?u International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Air Moldova website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Milano to Chi?in?u International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Milano - Chisinau line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Air Moldova convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
