Flight compensation Lufthansa Cargo:
Palermo — Munich

Claim and compensation for flight Lufthansa Cargo Palermo - Munich

If your trip departing from Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport and arriving at Munich International Airport operated by Lufthansa Cargo was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 137 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

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 Lufthansa Cargo.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Palermo - Munich is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Palermo and Munich entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 1 137 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Munich.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Palermo 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

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Lufthansa Cargo staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Palermo - Munich flight.
