Legal right to compensation: United Feeder Service flight between Palermo and Milano

The PMO - MXP route operated by United Feeder Service experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 904 km determines your legal compensation level.

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: Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport (PMO)
  • Arrival airport: Malpensa International Airport (MXP)
  • Flight distance: 904 km (~1h08)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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

How to know if the flight United Feeder Service Palermo - Milano is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Milano. If United Feeder Service made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Malpensa International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Palermo, the regulation applies in the same way.

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

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Milano.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Palermo airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to United Feeder Service (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Palermo, 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

A work stoppage of United Feeder Service crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Palermo, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for United Feeder Service.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Palermo / Punta Raisi 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.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from United Feeder Service?

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company United Feeder Service will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
