Get your Brussels Airlines flight compensation for the route Brussels - Malta
From Brussels Airport airport, your departure with Brussels Airlines to Malta didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 854 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Brussels Airport (BRU)
- Arrival airport: Luqa Airport (MLA)
- Flight distance: 1 854 km (~2h19)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
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 Brussels Airlines Brussels - Malta is eligible?
The compensation for flight BRU-MLA is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Brussels Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.
What are the conditions for Brussels Airlines to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Malta.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Brussels airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Brussels Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Brussels, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Brussels Airlines compensation
Don't be fooled by Brussels Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.
Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Brussels Airlines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.
What are your rights at Brussels 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 Brussels Airport, Brussels Airlines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Brussels Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Brussels Airlines.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Brussels Airlines?
