Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Frankfurt — Malta

Get your Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation for the route Frankfurt - Malta

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Lufthansa Cargo did not respect its scheduled times for your Frankfurt - Malta flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 647 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Frankfurt - Malta is eligible?

The compensation for flight FRA-MLA is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Lufthansa Cargo FRA-MLA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Frankfurt.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation

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

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Lufthansa Cargo is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Frankfurt am Main International Airport airport, Lufthansa Cargo is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Frankfurt am Main International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Lufthansa Cargo?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Luqa Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Lufthansa Cargo flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Lufthansa Cargo. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Lufthansa Cargo on your smartphone.

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 Frankfurt - Malta 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.
