Volotea Flight Cancellations: When Are They Liable?

When Volotea can escape liability: Volotea claims can be denied if a flight was cancelled due to events outside the control of the Spanish airline.

For example, in case of bad weather or issues at the airport, Volotea doesn't have to pay monetary compensation. Such events are typically called extraordinary circumstances, and in such cases, you are not entitled to a Volotea missed flight refund.

All airlines will generally try to book you on the next available flight at no additional charge, in the case of cancelled flights. You may agree to the proposed flight or request another replacement flight, or demand reimbursement if you are not happy with any of the options proposed.

Note: If your rebooked scheduled departure arrives at a similar time to your original departure time, you're not entitled to compensation. The law is fair and allows airlines not to pay compensation if you can reach your destination with minimum inconvenience. In most cases, passengers with a cancelled flight will have valid claims for Volotea flight compensation.

When Volotea cannot escape liability: When Volotea cancels flights, European Union Regulation 261 on air passenger rights are clear: You must be put on an alternative flight or provided with a full flight refund.

Also, if you were notified about the flight cancellation less than 14 days before your date of departure, you may be able to receive up to €600 per person in compensation. Additionally, you may receive Volotea flight delay compensation if you arrived 3+ hours later than the scheduled arrival time of your initial flight.

Volotea Flight Refund Policy

A flight compensation and a refund are two different things. Regulations allow you to receive both: a cancellation refund and compensation.

In case of a cancellation, an airline will try to re-book you on a similar flight, but if that becomes impossible, a cancellation refund will be a full cash refund. Generally, your claim would succeed, provided there were no extraordinary circumstances beyond airline control.

If Volotea cancels your flight due to extraordinary circumstances and you were offered no replacement flight, you can obtain a ticket refund in full since your flights booked were not available.

Types of ticket refunds: A full refund must be in cash or credit. Vouchers are allowed only if you specifically agree to it. We do not recommend accepting vouchers due to short expiry dates and potential restrictions on redemption.

Note: If Volotea offers a replacement flight with approximately the same arrival time and you decide not to take it, there is a possibility of you losing the right to get both compensation and a ticket refund.

Rule of thumb: you can generally reject alternative flights and receive a refund in full if a new replacement flight arrives 3+ hours later than your initial scheduled arrival time.

Volotea Flight Delay Compensation

While all airlines attempt to operate on time, sometimes delays happen. EU Regulation 261 protects passengers in cases of flight delays.

According to your air passenger rights, if your flight arrives later than 3 hours at your final destination, you may be eligible to file a Volotea delayed flight compensation claim form to receive up to €600 as a flight refund.

Exclusions: Volotea delayed flight compensation will not be enforceable in case of extraordinary circumstances. If the flight departure time is delayed because of bad weather or any airport related disruption, that is considered an extraordinary circumstance. Technical problems, airline staff strike, or operational problems are not valid reasons for rejected compensation claims.

Tip: accepting vouchers or signing release paperwork will result in losing the right to compensation.

What is the Time Limit for Compensation Claims?

You have up to six years to contact the airline and collect your compensation and ticket refunds.
