The impact of a strike on your Meridiana compensation

Not all strike{s} exempt the airline from its obligations. If your Milan - Catania delay was caused by an staff strike at Meridiana, the CJEU have confirmed that this entitles you to a payout.

A strike by ATC services at Linate Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which Meridiana has no control.

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

An often-forgotten point: the right to care applies even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 250€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Meridiana is exempt from the payout, care is still owed.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Meridiana?

Remember that Meridiana must process your claim within weeks. Prolonged silence itself constitutes a legal argument in your favour.

Partner legal platforms have technology to audit Meridiana's real data and disprove false weather excuses.

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

Stay determined despite Meridiana's non-response. It's a calculated strategy to make you abandon. Statistics show that the majority of passengers drop their claim before resolution.

By opting for a platform with no upfront costs, you have nothing to lose. If the 250€ case fails, you pay nothing. It's that simple.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a standardised negative response is unfortunately the experience of most passengers who act without support for the Milan → Catania route.

As a last resort, it is court action that often unlocks payment. Meridiana will almost always choose to pay the 250€ rather than face lawyer fees for a case doomed to fail in court.
