Claim and compensation for flight VOLOTEA Airways Catania - Florence

If your trip departing from Catania / Fontanarossa Airport and arriving at Firenze / Peretola Airport operated by VOLOTEA Airways was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Catania and Florence (777 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by VOLOTEA Airways.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like VOLOTEA Airways.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if VOLOTEA Airways offers you a voucher for your Catania - Florence flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Florence.
• 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...).

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Firenze / Peretola 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.

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 Catania - Florence flight.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking VOLOTEA Airways for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.
