Refund and compensation Malmö Aviation: route Gothenborg to Brussels
The GOT - BRU route operated by Malmö Aviation experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (GOT)
- Arrival airport: Brussels Airport (BRU)
- Flight distance: 905 km (~1h08)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
This is not a commercial gesture from Malmö Aviation, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
How to know if the flight Malmö Aviation Gothenborg - Brussels is eligible?
To determine if your trip between Gothenborg and Brussels entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.
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 Brussels.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Gothenborg airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Malmö Aviation (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Gothenborg, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Malmö Aviation compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Malmö Aviation 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 Gothenborg - Brussels flight.
What are your rights at Gothenborg airport in case of prolonged wait?
During these long hours of waiting in the Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.
Your forced stay at Gothenborg shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your GOT-BRU trip.
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 Gothenburg-Landvetter 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?
Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Malmö Aviation to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.
If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Gothenborg - Brussels section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
An unfounded refusal from Malmö Aviation is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.
A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport airport to prove their faults.
