Refund and compensation VOLOTEA Airways: route Genoa to Olbia

Your claim for compensation for the VOLOTEA Airways flight from Genoa to Olbia deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Genoa and Olbia (395 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.

Check your actual arrival time at Olbia. If VOLOTEA Airways made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Olbia / Costa Smeralda Airport, your claim is legitimate.

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

• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to VOLOTEA Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
