Claim and compensation for flight Excel Airways Bologna - Tirana
The BLQ - TIA route operated by Excel Airways experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.
Given the route between Bologna and Tirana (768 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Excel Airways.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport (BLQ)
- Arrival airport: Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa (TIA)
- Flight distance: 768 km (~0h58)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
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 Excel Airways.
How to know if the flight Excel Airways Bologna - Tirana is eligible?
Check your actual arrival time at Tirana. If Excel Airways made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa, your claim is legitimate.
In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Bologna, the regulation applies in the same way.
What are the conditions for Excel Airways to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tirana.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bologna airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Excel Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Bologna, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Excel Airways compensation
A work stoppage of Excel Airways crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.
A strike by weather services at Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Excel Airways has no control.
What are your rights at Bologna airport in case of prolonged wait?
If Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Excel Airways, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.
Your forced stay at Bologna shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BLQ-TIA trip.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from Excel Airways?
It is strongly recommended to keep your Excel Airways boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.
If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Excel Airways. An expert can reduce this time by half.
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 Bologna - Tirana 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.
