Flight compensation Wizz Air:
Catania — Bucharest

Refund and compensation Wizz Air: route Catania to Bucharest

If your trip departing from Catania / Fontanarossa Airport and arriving at Henri Coand? International Airport operated by Wizz Air was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Catania and Bucharest (1 214 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Wizz Air.

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 Wizz Air.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Catania - Bucharest is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Catania and Bucharest entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Catania, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bucharest.
• 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 Wizz Air (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation

If your Wizz Air flight from Catania / Fontanarossa Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.
