Rome — Malta

File your refund for Meridiana Rome → Malta

The stress of a cancellation at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport towards Malta with Meridiana gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

Leaving Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 689 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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.

The rulings of the EU Court of Justice has reinforced these rights since 2004, making Regulation 261/2004 an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Meridiana.

How to know if the flight Meridiana Rome - Malta is eligible?

Your entitlement depends on verifiable facts. Eurocontrol data will confirm the exact time of door opening at Luqa Airport.

Be cautious: Meridiana may attempt to have you sign a waiver. Don't sign anything without consulting an expert.

What are the conditions for Meridiana to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Meridiana compensation

Be wary by Meridiana's evasive wording: a unannounced or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

An specialist firm can easily identify whether the strike that impacted your Meridiana Rome→Malta flight is an internal or external cause.
