Cancelled flight with KM Malta Airlines
If your flight is cancelled by KM Malta Airlines more than 14 days before departure, you are entitled to a free change of date or a refund of the original ticket price.
However, if your flight is cancelled less than 14 days before departure, you are also automatically entitled to financial compensation up to 600 eur.
Again, compensation will only be due if the airline cancels the flight and not due to unforeseen circumstances.
Where to apply for compensation
KM Malta Airlines does not have a dedicated contact page for claiming refunds and compensation and in the event of a claim you must use the normal contacts listed on the airline's website: kmmaltairlines.com/en/customer-support
However, airlines often try to avoid compensation and drag out the whole claim by ignoring and lying, so contact the agency directly.
