Given the route between Palermo and Paris (1 471 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach 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.
