Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Malta airport.

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Malta, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Tuninter compensation
The question of strikes is a common friction point in claims. It is essential to differentiate between a strike by Tuninter's employees (flight crew) and an external strike.
The crucial point is always: who is on strike? If {the answer is yes|it's Tuninter's employees}, {you're entitled to 250€|compensation is owed}. Otherwise, assistance alone is still required.
What are your rights at Malta airport in case of prolonged wait?
If Luqa Airport becomes your temporary home because of Tuninter, know that your basic needs must be met by the airline. Assistance is due from 2 hours for flights of this distance.
Many passengers don't know that transport between the hotel and the airport of Luqa Airport is also covered in the mandatory care required of Tuninter.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from Tuninter?
The solo claim with Tuninter to obtain 250€ rarely succeeds without a well-documented case. Even on a short-haul, the procedure can be tricky.
Concretely, the process is straightforward: you input your route info Malta-Tunis, the expert checks your eligibility, then takes charge until you receive your 250€.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
Don't be surprised if you get no reply within two weeks. The average processing time for a carrier like Tuninter to finalise a compensation case typically ranges from 1 to 3 months.
Recovering 250€ has never been faster thanks to digital tools between defence platforms and Tuninter's systems.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
An unfounded refusal from Tuninter is a practice that experts know perfectly how to counter by invoking the relevant provisions of Regulation 261.
The national CAA or its EU equivalents can be slow. A private legal action against Tuninter is often more effective. For short-haul, the local small claims court is often competent.
