Flight compensation Alitalia:
Rome — Tbilisi

Get your Alitalia flight compensation for the route Rome - Tbilisi

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Alitalia did not respect its scheduled times for your Rome - Tbilisi flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 698 km of flight, the company Alitalia is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Tbilisi International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Alitalia owes you 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Alitalia sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tbilisi.
• 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...).

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Tbilisi 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 Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Alitalia must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Rome.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Alitalia.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

An unfounded refusal from Alitalia is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Alitalia is often more striking.
