Flight compensation VOLOTEA Airways:
Catania — Bari

Get your VOLOTEA Airways flight compensation for the route Catania - Bari

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Catania and Bari with VOLOTEA Airways? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 434 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight VOLOTEA Airways Catania - Bari is eligible?

The compensation for flight CTA-BRI is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Catania / Fontanarossa Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for VOLOTEA Airways to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your VOLOTEA Airways compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by VOLOTEA Airways staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Catania / Fontanarossa 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 Catania airport in case of prolonged wait?

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