Did you know? Even if United Feeder Service is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Luqa Airport, the European regulation applies in full.
How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Malta - Belfast is eligible?
Check your actual arrival time at Belfast. If United Feeder Service made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Belfast International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

What are the conditions for United Feeder Service to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Belfast.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Malta airport.

If your United Feeder Service flight from Luqa Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.
The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Malta - Belfast flight.
What are your rights at Malta airport in case of prolonged wait?
During these long hours of waiting in the Luqa Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

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