Flight compensation Meridiana:
Malta — Rome

Claim and compensation for flight Meridiana Malta - Rome

If your trip departing from Luqa Airport and arriving at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport operated by Meridiana was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 689 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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Meridiana, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Meridiana Malta - Rome is eligible?

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Malta, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Meridiana compensation

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

A strike by weather services at Luqa Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Meridiana has no control.

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

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

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

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Meridiana?

Starting a procedure against Meridiana for a flight from Malta to Rome can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Malta to Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Meridiana flight from Malta can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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 Malta - Rome line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Meridiana convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
