Refund and compensation Meridiana: route Naples to Kiev

If your trip departing from Naples and arriving at Boryspil International Airport operated by Meridiana was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Naples, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 659 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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: Naples (NAP)
  • Arrival airport: Boryspil International Airport (KBP)
  • Flight distance: 1 659 km (~2h04)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 Naples - Kiev is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Kiev. If Meridiana made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Boryspil International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Naples, 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 Kiev.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Naples airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Meridiana (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Meridiana compensation

A work stoppage of Meridiana crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Naples, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Meridiana.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Meridiana for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Naples airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Meridiana?

For your Naples - Kiev trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Meridiana staff at the Naples counter during the incident.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

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

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Meridiana on your smartphone.

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 Naples - Kiev line.

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