Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Charleroi - Rome

The CRL - CIA route operated by Ryanair experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 148 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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: Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL)
  • Arrival airport: Ciampino Airport (CIA)
  • Flight distance: 1 148 km (~1h26)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Did you know? Even if Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Charleroi - Rome is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Charleroi - Rome flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Charleroi, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Don't be fooled by Ryanair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Brussels South Charleroi Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.

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

If Brussels South Charleroi Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Charleroi remains valid. The hotel is due if Ryanair offsets your flight by one night.
