Flight compensation Alitalia:
Tehran — Rome

Claim and compensation for flight Alitalia Tehran - Rome

If your trip departing from Imam Khomeini International Airport and arriving at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport operated by Alitalia was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 3 424 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Alitalia, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Rome. If Alitalia made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Tehran, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Rome.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Tehran 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 €.

A strike by weather services at Imam Khomeini International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Alitalia has no control.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Imam Khomeini International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Tehran remains valid. The hotel is due if Alitalia offsets your flight by one night.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Alitalia. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Alitalia flight from Tehran can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Alitalia will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
