Legal right to compensation: Transavia Holland flight between Catania and Amsterdam

Given the route between Catania and Amsterdam (1 835 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Transavia Holland.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

  • Arrival airport: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)
  • Flight distance: 1 835 km (~2h18)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This is not a commercial gesture from Transavia Holland, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
