Flight compensation Corse-Mediterranee:
Marseille — Milano

Legal right to compensation: Corse-Mediterranee flight between Marseille and Milano

If your trip departing from Marseille Provence Airport and arriving at Malpensa International Airport operated by Corse-Mediterranee was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Marseille and Milano (370 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Corse-Mediterranee.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Corse-Mediterranee.

How to know if the flight Corse-Mediterranee Marseille - Milano is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Marseille and Milano entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 370 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 Corse-Mediterranee to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Corse-Mediterranee compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Corse-Mediterranee staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Marseille Provence Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Corse-Mediterranee 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 Marseille Provence Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Corse-Mediterranee?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Corse-Mediterranee boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Marseille Provence Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

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

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Corse-Mediterranee customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Marseille - Milano section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

The first refusal from Corse-Mediterranee should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Marseille Provence Airport airport to prove their faults.
