Get your Ryanair flight compensation for the route Malaga - Charleroi

From Malaga airport, your departure with Ryanair to Charleroi didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 691 km of flight, the company Ryanair is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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: Malaga (AGP)
  • Arrival airport: Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL)
  • Flight distance: 1 691 km (~2h07)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Brussels South Charleroi Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Ryanair owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Ryanair AGP-CRL flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Malaga.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Malaga - Charleroi trip is due to an internal strike within Ryanair, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Ryanair must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Malaga.

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

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Ryanair?

The amicable route with Ryanair to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Ryanair flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Airlines like Ryanair sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Ryanair flight from Malaga can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Malaga - Charleroi line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Ryanair will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
