Refund and compensation Egyptair: route Milano to Cairo

If your trip departing from Malpensa International Airport and arriving at Cairo International Airport operated by Egyptair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Milano and Cairo (2 617 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Egyptair.

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.

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 Egyptair.

How to know if the flight Egyptair Milano - Cairo is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Egyptair offers you a voucher for your Milano - Cairo flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 2 617 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Egyptair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Egyptair compensation

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

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Milano - Cairo flight.

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

If Malpensa International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Egyptair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.
