Flight compensation Germanwings:
Hannover — Catania

Claim and compensation for flight Germanwings Hannover - Catania

Your claim for compensation for the Germanwings flight from Hannover to Catania deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 719 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Germanwings is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Hannover Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Germanwings Hannover - Catania is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Catania. If Germanwings made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Catania / Fontanarossa Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Germanwings to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

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

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Hannover, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Germanwings.

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

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

Your forced stay at Hannover shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your HAJ-CTA trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Germanwings?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Germanwings boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Hannover Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

A collective action on the Germanwings flight from Hannover can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Germanwings convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
