Flight compensation Alitalia:
Rome — Tehran

How to be compensated by Alitalia on the Rome (FCO) - Tehran (IKA) line

From Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport airport, your departure with Alitalia to Tehran didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 3 424 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Alitalia to pay you financial compensation.

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 - Tehran is eligible?

For an Alitalia flight from Rome to Tehran, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Alitalia FCO-IKA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Rome.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

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

A work stoppage of Alitalia crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Rome, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Alitalia.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, Alitalia must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Alitalia?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Imam Khomeini International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Alitalia flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Airlines like Alitalia sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Alitalia on your smartphone.

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

Don't take Alitalia's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Alitalia convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
