Flight compensation Alitalia:
Tirana — Genoa

Procedure: Alitalia flight compensation from Tirana to Genoa

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 946 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 250 €?

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Alitalia Tirana - Genoa is eligible?

The compensation for flight TIA-GOA is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Alitalia TIA-GOA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Tirana.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Genoa.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Tirana 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 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Tirana, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Alitalia.

What are your rights at Tirana 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 Tirana.

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 Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Alitalia?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Genova / Sestri Cristoforo Colombo Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Alitalia.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Tirana to Genova / Sestri Cristoforo Colombo Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Tirana - Genoa line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
