Legal right to compensation: Iberia Airlines flight between Paris and Rome

If your trip departing from Paris-Orly Airport and arriving at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport operated by Iberia Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Paris and Rome (1 088 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Iberia Airlines.

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

  • Arrival airport: Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport (FCO)
  • Flight distance: 1 088 km (~1h22)
  • 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 Iberia Airlines.
