Flight compensation Hainan Airlines:
Milano — Brussels

Full breakdown: Hainan Airlines claim Milano → Brussels

The flight MXP → BRU by Hainan Airlines suffered an incident? Delay, cancellation or overbooking, you may be entitled to a legal payout.

Given the distance between Milano and Brussels (665 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by Hainan Airlines. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

This is not a goodwill gesture from Hainan Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Hainan Airlines Milano - Brussels is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Hainan Airlines offers you a travel credit for your Milano → Brussels flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 250€ provided by law.

An upgrade or downgrade doesn't affect your right to 250€ if the original incident qualifies under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Brussels.
• 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 Hainan Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
