Claim and compensation for flight Air One Catania - Milano

The CTA - MXP route operated by Air One experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Catania and Milano (1 049 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air One.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Catania / Fontanarossa Airport (CTA)
  • Arrival airport: Malpensa International Airport (MXP)
  • Flight distance: 1 049 km (~1h19)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Air One.

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