EU law strictly protects passenger rights. For 905 km, the legal compensation is owed if {the airline is at fault|Malmö Aviation bears responsibility}. The short-haul bracket applies fully here.

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: Brussels Airport (BRU)
  • Arrival airport: Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (GOT)
  • Flight distance: 905 km (~1h08)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

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

Your eligibility rests on objective criteria. Official flight records will verify the precise moment of actual arrival at Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport.

Watch out for traps: Malmö Aviation might try to have you sign a waiver. Don't accept anything before checking with a legal professional.

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...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Malmö Aviation compensation

A work stoppage by Malmö Aviation's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 250€.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to ground services, Malmö Aviation is exempted from the obligation to pay the 250€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

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

Here is what Malmö Aviation owes you during a prolonged wait at Brussels Airport: drinks and snacks proportionate to the delay, the ability to call or email, and accommodation if an overnight stay is needed.

The regulation is very clear: assistance is not an optional courtesy from Malmö Aviation. It is a legal obligation that can be sanctioned.

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

Airlines like Malmö Aviation have whole departments specialised in deterring unassisted passengers. Against this imbalance, having an ally makes all the difference.

The main benefit: they take on all the complexity and only collect fees if the 250€ are successfully recovered.

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

The paradox: the longer Malmö Aviation delays paying your 250€, the more the final bill risks growing in penalties. Lawyers exploit this fact to force the airline's hand.

Imagine: while you go about your life, lawyers work to secure your 250€ for the Malmö Aviation Brussels→Gothenborg flight. That's the benefit of a turnkey service.

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

It is quite common for Malmö Aviation's systems to refuse by default your initial claim under a generic pretext that is unfounded.

As a final step, it is a legal summons that typically triggers payment. Malmö Aviation will nearly invariably prefer to settle the 250€ rather than incur additional legal costs for a case it knows it will lose in court.
