How to get compensated from Wizz Air Ukraine on Bergamo (BGY) - Kiev (IEV)

Boarding denied on your Wizz Air Ukraine flight Bergamo ✈ Kiev? This happens to thousands every month. Fortunately: compensation is available.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 1 623 km, Wizz Air Ukraine is bound by a compensation obligation if boarding is denied.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport (BGY)
  • Arrival airport: Kiev Zhuliany International Airport (IEV)
  • Flight distance: 1 623 km (~2h02)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Wizz Air Ukraine from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Ukraine Bergamo - Kiev is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at Kiev Zhuliany International Airport. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Wizz Air Ukraine owes you 400€.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from Bergamo / Orio Al Serio Airport without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 400€ indemnity.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air Ukraine to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Bergamo, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air Ukraine compensation

When industrial action disrupts your journey to Kiev Zhuliany International Airport, {the airline|Wizz Air Ukraine} will often try to refuse the claim. However, a strike by its employees no longer constitutes, according to case law, an exempting circumstance.

The distinction is subtle but essential. By consulting aviation experts, they will verify in official records the actual cause of the delay recorded on the day of your Bergamo - Kiev flight.

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

Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 3 hours for flights between 1500 and 3500 km, Wizz Air Ukraine must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Bergamo.
