Flight compensation Meridiana:
Olbia — Duesseldorf

Get your Meridiana flight compensation for the route Olbia - Duesseldorf

From Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport airport, your departure with Meridiana to Duesseldorf didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 174 km of flight, the company Meridiana is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Meridiana Olbia - Duesseldorf is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Dusseldorf International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Meridiana owes you 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Meridiana OLB-DUS flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Olbia.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Meridiana compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Meridiana staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport airport, Meridiana is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

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