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

From Genova / Sestri Cristoforo Colombo Airport airport, your departure with VOLOTEA Airways to Catania didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 932 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires VOLOTEA Airways 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.

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 VOLOTEA Airways Genoa - Catania is eligible?

For an VOLOTEA Airways flight from Genoa to Catania, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Genova / Sestri Cristoforo Colombo 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 Catania.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Genoa 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Genoa - Catania trip is due to an internal strike within VOLOTEA Airways, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, VOLOTEA Airways is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Genoa 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 Genova / Sestri Cristoforo Colombo Airport airport, VOLOTEA Airways is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Genova / Sestri Cristoforo Colombo Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
