Your rights in the event of a delayed or cancelled Aeroitalia flight
If you were a passenger on an Aeroitalia flight that was cancelled or delayed, your rights as an air passenger are safeguarded by European and British law. In some instances, you may be entitled to up to £520 in compensation as well as a full refund for your cancelled Aeroitalia flight.
Was your Aeroitalia flight delayed? You are eligible for Aeroitalia compensation if your flight was delayed by at least 3 hours.
Was your Aeroitalia flight cancelled? If you declined the airline's substitute flight, you are entitled to a refund. In addition, if your flight was cancelled fewer than 14 days prior to the original departure date, Aeroitalia may be required to give you flight compensation.
Whatever the cause of the flight disruption, airlines are obligated by law to provide passengers with additional support or the "right to care." Vouchers for food and drink, communication services, as well as, if required, accommodation and transportation can all be offered. Claim the vouchers at the airline service desk at the airport, and if they ignore your request, buy what you need anyhow—they will have to reimburse you for those costs (as long as they are reasonable) .
Flight compensation is not possible if your flight is cancelled or delayed due to an "extraordinary circumstance." Aeroitalia must be the party at fault for the flight disruption for you to be eligible for compensation.

How much Aeroitalia compensation can I get for a delayed or cancelled flight?
The amount of the compensation depends on the distance of your flight:
| Distance of your flight | Compensation |
|---|---|
| Flights shorter than 1,500 km | Get £220 per passenger |

| Flights of over 1,500 kilometres within the EU | Get £350 per passenger |
| Flights of over 3,500 kilometres outside of the EU | Get £520 per passenger |
Extraordinary circumstances — can Aeroitalia deny me compensation?
Aeroitalia can deny compensation when the disruption was caused by extraordinary circumstances, such as a third party or force majeure. Aeroitalia is not obliged to pay flight compensation in cases when they are not the party at fault for the delay or cancellation.
Some of the most common extraordinary circumstances are:
Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.
A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).
However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!
Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.
Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.
A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.
An ill or unruly passenger.
Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.
How long do I have to claim my Aeroitalia compensation and refund?
Different national laws will apply depending on the itinerary of your flight. According to Italian law, you have 5 years to claim flight compensation. However, passengers can always choose the option that is most favourable to them.
It is therefore possible to claim under the law applicable in the country of departure or destination when it is not Italy. For instance, if you travel with Aeroitalia to the United Kingdom, you can claim flight compensation under British law, where you have 6 years to file a claim. Scotland is the exception where you would have 5 years to claim.

About Aeroitalia
Aeroitalia is an Italian flag carrier founded in 2022. The airline, based in Forlì Luigi Ridolfi Airport (FRL) in northern Italy, between Bologna and Rimini-Rivera in Tuscany, received its Air Operator's Certificate on April 22, 2022. In July 2022, Aeroitalia began operating scheduled flights from its hub in Forlì to many domestic destinations, Malta, and Zakynthos.
For now, the airline offers charter flights mainly within the European continent, but it is expected that in the coming years it will be able to expand its fleet to cover international destinations in the United States and Latin America.
