Claim and compensation for flight Transaero Airlines Milano - Moscow
Your claim for compensation for the Transaero Airlines flight from Milano to Moscow deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.
European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 275 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.
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: Malpensa International Airport (MXP)
- Arrival airport: Vnukovo International Airport (VKO)
- Flight distance: 2 275 km (~2h51)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Transaero Airlines.
How to know if the flight Transaero Airlines Milano - Moscow is eligible?
Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Transaero Airlines offers you a voucher for your Milano - Moscow flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.
In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Milano, the regulation applies in the same way.
What are the conditions for Transaero Airlines to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Moscow.
-
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 Transaero Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Milano, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Transaero Airlines compensation
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Vnukovo International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Malpensa International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.
What are your rights at Milano airport in case of prolonged wait?
If Malpensa International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Transaero Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.
In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Malpensa International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Transaero Airlines?
For your Milano - Moscow trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Transaero Airlines staff at the Malpensa International Airport counter during the incident.
By entrusting your case regarding flight MXP-VKO to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Transaero Airlines to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.
The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The first refusal from Transaero Airlines should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.
A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Malpensa International Airport airport to prove their faults.
