Indigo flight Naples - Milan: your rights to compensation

From Naples, your departure with Indigo to Milan didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against airlines.

Thanks to EU Regulation CE 261, passengers affected by disruptions on a 650 km route can claim a fixed payout from {the carrier|Indigo}.

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: Naples (NAP)
  • Arrival airport: Linate Airport (LIN)
  • Flight distance: 650 km (~0h49)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This fixed compensation system was created to discourage airlines from cancelling flights without compelling reasons. Don't hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful legal tool.

How to know if the flight Indigo Naples - Milan is eligible?

Concretely, to qualify, your real landing at Linate Airport must have been recorded more than 3 hours late the scheduled time.

The 250€ compensation applies per passenger. A family of 4: each person is entitled to {the same amount|250€}. Even on a short flight, families can recover a significant sum.

What are the conditions for Indigo to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Naples, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Indigo compensation

When industrial action disrupts your journey to Linate Airport, {the airline|Indigo} will often try to refuse the claim. However, a strike by its employees no longer constitutes, according to case law, an exempting circumstance.

Don't take at face value Indigo's explanation. Many airlines wrongly categorise their own staff disputes as force majeure to avoid {paying compensation|the 250€}.

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