Get your VOLOTEA Airways flight compensation for the route Venice - Palermo

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 817 km of flight, the company VOLOTEA Airways is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 Venice - Palermo is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Palermo / Punta Raisi Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, VOLOTEA Airways owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo 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 Palermo.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Venice 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

A work stoppage of VOLOTEA Airways 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 Venice, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for VOLOTEA Airways.

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

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by VOLOTEA Airways.
