Air Passenger Rights: Compensation for Delayed or Cancelled Flights

If your Alitalia (AZ) flight was delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under the EU 261/2004 regulation (also known as EC 261). This law protects passengers departing from any EU airport, or arriving in the EU on an EU-based airline such as Alitalia. Your passenger rights include the possibility of receiving compensation when your flight is delayed by more than three hours or cancelled without sufficient notice, unless the disruption was caused by extraordinary circumstances.

To qualify for compensation, your flight must either depart from an EU airport or arrive in the EU with an EU carrier (such as Alitalia). For example, if you booked an Alitalia flight from Rome to New York or from New York to Rome, both flights are covered by EU 261 because Alitalia is an EU-based airline. If your flight is delayed by more than three hours at arrival, or cancelled within 14 days of departure, you may be eligible for financial compensation.

The amount of compensation depends on the distance of your flight:

• For flights up to 1,500 km: €250 per person
• For flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: €400 per person
• For flights over 3,500 km: €600 per person

In addition to financial compensation, you may also be entitled to care and assistance, such as meals, refreshments, and hotel accommodation depending on the length of the delay and distance of your journey. Remember to keep all travel documents and communication records with the airline to support your claim.
