Airlinair passengers Milano-Nantes: your guide to get compensated

You travelled with Airlinair from Milano to Nantes and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between Milano and Nantes (810 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Airlinair. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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: Malpensa International Airport (MXP)
  • Arrival airport: Nantes Atlantique Airport (NTE)
  • Flight distance: 810 km (~1h01)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is not a goodwill gesture from Airlinair, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

A little-known fact: you have 5 years in France to file your claim against Airlinair for the Milano→Nantes flight. Don't assume it's impossible to claim if the incident was some time ago.

What are the conditions for Airlinair to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Nantes.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

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 Airlinair compensation

In every scenario, close examination of records will establish whether the conditions were genuinely exceptional. ATC strikes have a proportionally stronger impact on short routes.

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

Care is due after 2h of delay for this route. Airlinair must guarantee the wellbeing of passengers stranded at Milano. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at Milano still applies. The hotel must be provided if Airlinair delays your flight overnight.
