You travelled with Ryanair from Rome to Charleroi and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between Rome and Charleroi (1 148 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Ryanair. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

  • Arrival airport: Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL)
  • Flight distance: 1 148 km (~1h26)
