If you think you might be owed compensation, reimbursement, or a refund by Air Malta because of flight delays or cancellations, you've come to the right place. We can explain your air passenger rights, and help you get your money. Don't miss out on as much as £520 (£520) per person. Use our free Compensation Calculator to find out what you're entitled to, and get your claim started.
While airlines like Air Malta make every effort to stick to their advertised schedules, flight delays do happen. The good news for travelers is that air passenger rights exist to protect you and your journey when you get caught up in Air Malta flight delays.
Under an EU law known as EC 261, if an airline causes passengers to arrive at their destination 3 or more hours late, those passengers could get up to £520 in compensation.
There are some extraordinary circumstances which may excuse airlines from paying compensation. Those include situations like bad weather or issues at the airport. But if the delay is a result of technical issues or an airline staff strike, you're likely to be owed compensation under EC 261.
What's more, you generally have up to 3 years to claim with Air Malta and get your flight delay compensation. All you have to do is type in your flight details and our easy-to-use flight delay compensation calculator will tell you if you are eligible for cash compensation, and our expert team are on hand to help you get it.
In the event your Air Malta flight is canceled, Europe's air passenger rights are clear: Air Malta must offer you an alternative transport to your destination, or a full flight refund if that's what you'd prefer.
In addition, if you were told about the cancellation less than 14 days before you were due to depart you may also be able to claim up to £520 per person in compensation.
Generally speaking, when Air Malta cancels flights, they'll attempt to rebook passengers straight away onto another flight at no additional charge. You can request further changes if the alternative flight doesn’t work for you, or reimbursement if you no longer wish to travel that route.
If Air Malta can book you onto a new flight that lands at a similar time to your original they won't have to pay you compensation. This is fair, as you'll get to your destination with minimum disruption to your plans. However in a lot of cases, passengers whose flights are canceled at the last minute have valid claims to Air Malta canceled flight compensation.
That's unless the cancellation was caused by an event Air Malta can't be expected to control — something like bad weather conditions, or an incident at the airport. These events are referred to as extraordinary circumstances.
