Steps: claim for Niki flight from Rome to Vienna

Your Niki flight from Rome to Vienna was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

Regardless of the fare €50 or €500, the indemnity is fixed: 250€ per passenger. {The distance|The 780 km} is what counts, not the fare. On this short flight, the fixed compensation is guaranteed.

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: Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport (FCO)
  • Arrival airport: Vienna International Airport (VIE)
  • Flight distance: 780 km (~0h59)

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rome airport.

The impact of a strike on your Niki compensation

The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Niki's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.
