Flight compensation Alitalia:
Riyadh — Milano

Claim and compensation for flight Alitalia Riyadh - Milano

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

Given the route between Riyadh and Milano (4 085 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Alitalia.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

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 Alitalia.

How to know if the flight Alitalia Riyadh - Milano is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Riyadh and Milano entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 4 085 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Malpensa International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at King Khaled International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 600 € will not be due.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Alitalia for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Riyadh shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your RUH-MXP trip.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Alitalia?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Alitalia boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at King Khaled International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.
