Flight compensation Alitalia:
Rome — Cairo

Steps: claim for Alitalia flight from Rome to Cairo

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Alitalia didn't honour its scheduled times for your Rome - Cairo flight, the law is on your side.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 2 151 km, Alitalia is held to a payout requirement if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Alitalia from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

How to know if the flight Alitalia Rome - Cairo is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Cairo International Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Alitalia must pay you 400€.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport without an immediate alternative entitles you to the same 400€ payout.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

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