Procedure: United Feeder Service flight compensation from Mulhouse to Catania

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If United Feeder Service did not respect its scheduled times for your Mulhouse - Catania flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 282 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires United Feeder Service to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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: EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (BSL)
  • Arrival airport: Catania / Fontanarossa Airport (CTA)
  • Flight distance: 1 282 km (~1h36)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Mulhouse - Catania is eligible?

For an United Feeder Service flight from Mulhouse to Catania, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If United Feeder Service sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for United Feeder Service to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Catania.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Mulhouse, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Catania / Fontanarossa 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 EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport airport, United Feeder Service is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
