Your entitlement: Meridiana flight from Naples to Milan

If your flight from Naples to Linate Airport flown by Meridiana was impacted, you are not alone when dealing with the airline.

Given the distance between Naples and Milan (650 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by Meridiana. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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: Naples (NAP)
  • Arrival airport: Linate Airport (LIN)
  • Flight distance: 650 km (~0h49)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Good to know? Even if Meridiana is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Naples, CE 261 applies in full.

An class change doesn't change your right to 250€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Milan.
  • 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.
