How to be compensated by Singapore Airlines Cargo on the Milano (MXP) - Singapore (SIN) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Milano and Singapore with Singapore Airlines Cargo? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 10 309 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Singapore Airlines Cargo to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Singapore Airlines Cargo Milano - Singapore is eligible?

The compensation for flight MXP-SIN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Singapore Airlines Cargo sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Malpensa International Airport, the 600 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Singapore Airlines Cargo to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Singapore Airlines Cargo compensation

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

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Singapore Airlines Cargo is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Malpensa International Airport, Singapore Airlines Cargo must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Malpensa International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Singapore Airlines Cargo.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Singapore Airlines Cargo.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Singapore Airlines Cargo. An expert can reduce this time by half.

By entrusting the recovery of your 600 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 600 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
