Claim and compensation for flight Austrian Airlines Chisinau - Vienna

Your claim for compensation for the Austrian Airlines flight from Chisinau to Vienna deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Chi?in?u International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 936 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Austrian Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Chi?in?u International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Austrian Airlines Chisinau - Vienna is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Vienna. If Austrian Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Vienna International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 936 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Austrian Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Austrian Airlines compensation

Don't be fooled by Austrian Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Chi?in?u International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Austrian Airlines has no control.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Austrian Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Chi?in?u International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € 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 Austrian Airlines will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
