Flight compensation Alitalia:
Paris — Gothenborg

How to get compensated from Alitalia on Paris (CDG) - Gothenborg (GOT)

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Alitalia failed to meet its timetable for your Paris → Gothenborg flight, EU law backs you up.

Fortunately, for this route of 1 156 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Alitalia to pay you a fixed indemnity. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Alitalia from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.

How to know if the flight Alitalia Paris - Gothenborg is eligible?

The compensation for CDG→GOT is redress for the inconvenience caused, not just a refund of airport taxes. For this short-haul flight, the 3-hour threshold remains the key criterion.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from Charles de Gaulle International Airport without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 250€ indemnity.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation

Not all strike{s} exempt the airline from its obligations. If your Paris - Gothenborg delay was caused by an staff strike at Alitalia, the CJEU have confirmed that this entitles you to a payout.

An aviation law expert can quickly determine whether the strike that disrupted your Alitalia Paris-Gothenborg flight was the airline's responsibility or a third party's.
