Flight compensation Malmö Aviation:
Brussels — Gothenborg

Claim and compensation for flight Malmö Aviation Brussels - Gothenborg

If your trip departing from Brussels Airport and arriving at Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport operated by Malmö Aviation was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 905 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.

Did you know? Even if Malmö Aviation is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Brussels Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Malmö Aviation Brussels - Gothenborg is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Malmö Aviation offers you a voucher for your Brussels - Gothenborg flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Malmö Aviation to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Malmö Aviation compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Brussels - Gothenborg trip is due to an internal strike within Malmö Aviation, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Brussels, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Malmö Aviation.

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

If Brussels Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Malmö Aviation, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Brussels remains valid. The hotel is due if Malmö Aviation offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Malmö Aviation?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Malmö Aviation boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Brussels Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Airlines like Malmö Aviation sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Malmö Aviation flight from Brussels can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Malmö Aviation's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Malmö Aviation will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
