Steps: compensation for Ryanair flight from Marseille to Malta

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Ryanair failed to meet its timetable for your Marseille → Malta flight, EU law backs you up.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 1 156 km, Ryanair is bound by a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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: Marseille Provence Airport (MRS)
  • Arrival airport: Luqa Airport (MLA)
  • Flight distance: 1 156 km (~1h27)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travellers claim what they're owed (less than 15% on average). Don't let this money go unclaimed: the process, despite its complexity, is an absolute right for every passenger.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Marseille - Malta is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Luqa Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Ryanair must pay you 250€.
