Get your Wizz Air flight compensation for the route Skopje - Charleroi
From Skopje Alexander the Great Airport airport, your departure with Wizz Air to Charleroi didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 618 km of flight, the company Wizz Air is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.
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: Skopje Alexander the Great Airport (SKP)
- Arrival airport: Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL)
- Flight distance: 1 618 km (~2h01)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
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 Wizz Air Skopje - Charleroi is eligible?
The compensation for flight SKP-CRL is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Wizz Air sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Skopje Alexander the Great Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.
What are the conditions for Wizz Air to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Charleroi.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Skopje airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Wizz Air (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Skopje, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation
Don't be fooled by Wizz Air's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.
Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Wizz Air is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.
What are your rights at Skopje airport in case of prolonged wait?
In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Skopje Alexander the Great Airport, Wizz Air must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Skopje Alexander the Great Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Wizz Air?

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Wizz Air flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
Airlines like Wizz Air sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.
A collective action on the Wizz Air flight from Skopje can also be a way to get your funds faster.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Skopje - Charleroi line.
If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
