Documents required to submit a Utair Aviation compensation claim

Before starting any Utair Aviation compensation claim, it is important that you collect the following documents:

1. Booking confirmation

This document is essential to prove that you have purchased a ticket with Utair Aviation and that you were to travel on a specific flight.
In most cases, you will receive it in your email after making your booking.
If you cannot find it, you can request a copy from the company.

2. Proof of your identity

Whether it is your ID card, passport or residence card, you need a document that proves who you are to initiate any kind of claim.
This document will also be required at the airport when you check in and pass through security.

3. Boarding pass or a letter or email from Utair Aviation​ acknowledging fault.

If you have suffered a delay, cancellation or overbooking, you need a proof that you were scheduled to travel on the flight in question.
Boarding pass is the best proof, but you can also use a letter or email from Utair Aviation acknowledging fault.
It is important that you keep boarding pass records for all your Utair Aviation flights, even if you have suffered a cancellation and have been rescheduled to another flight.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to prove that you have suffered an incident.

4. Expenses that can be credited

If you have had to pay additional expenses due to a delay, cancellation or loss of baggage, you need to prove them with the corresponding tickets and invoices.
These expenses include hotels, meals, missed tours or tickets for other flights.
It is important that you keep all original receipts and invoices and that you request invoices from the establishments where you had to pay.
If you have to make a claim, you will need to prove all expenses in order to obtain Utair Aviation compensation.
 

Which other expenses can you claim to Utair Aviation?

You can include in the Utair Aviation compensation claim the expenses incurred or not enjoyed as loss and damage due to the problem with Utair Aviation, such as:

• hotels lost at destination or paid during the wait,
• taxis,
• meals at the airport or outside the airport,
• missed tours,

Before filing a Utair Aviation compensation claim for a cancelled or delayed flight, you need to know...
It is important to bear in mind that in order to claim a Utair Aviation compensation for delayed or cancelled flights of €250 to €600, the flight must have been delayed for at least 3 hours to its final destination.
If you are notified more than 15 days before the departure date, you will not be able to claim compensation based on kilometres.
On the other hand, according to our statistics, only 5% of people who start a Utair Aviation compensation claim on their own receive the compensation they are entitled to for a delay, cancellation, overbooking or lost luggage, and those who succeed receive 30% less compensation than those who are compensated by our platform.

Utair Aviation compensation claim for lost or delayed baggage

Before submitting a Utair Aviation compensation claim for lost luggage, it is important to know that the airline is obliged to search for the luggage and deliver it to the passenger as soon as possible.
If the luggage is not found within 21 days from the date it should have been delivered, it is considered lost and a compensation claim can be made against the airline.
To initiate the Utair Aviation compensation claim process, it is necessary to file a Baggage Irregularity Report with the airline within 7 days from the date of arrival of the flight.
This document is essential to claim any compensation to the airline company.
If this report is not submitted within the established deadline, the compensation claim may be rejected.
Once the report has been submitted, the passenger must wait for the airline to locate the luggage.
If the luggage is still missing after 21 days, it is considered lost and the Utair Aviation​ compensation claim process can be initiated.
According to the Montreal Convention, the airline has a maximum liability for lost luggage of 1.253 SDRs (Special Drawing Rights), which at exchange rate is approximately €1.414.
However, it is important to note that these compensations are not automatic, the passenger must justify the damage and the prejudice suffered.
Therefore, it is necessary to keep all receipts for any additional expenses incurred due to the loss of luggage, such as the purchase of clothes and basic necessities.
To submit a claim for lost luggage, the Utair Aviation compensation claim can be made directly to the airline.
In case Utair Aviation does not respond within two months, claims can be filed to the Spanish Aviation Safety Agency (AESA), which is the body in charge of resolving air passengers' claims.
In any case, it is important to remember that the presentation of the Baggage Irregularity Report is essential to initiate any Utair Aviation compensation claim process for lost baggage.
In addition, it is advisable to keep all documents that can justify the additional expenses caused by the loss of baggage.
 

 

How long does Utair Aviation take to pay compensation?

Once we have received all the required documentation, we proceed as follows:

• Eligibility: in the first 12 hours we proceed with the validation of the complaint through our Utair Aviation flight monitoring systems
• Legal: in the following 24 hours we proceed by advancing the file to the legal department to prepare the documentation against the company

How much can I claim if Utair Aviation has cancelled my flight and I had booked accommodation?

If your trip has been cut short due to a cancellation, you have the right to claim not only the refund of the ticket price, but also the amount of money you have paid in advance to book accommodation at your destination.
It is important that you have the necessary documentation proving both the cancellation of the flight and the cost of the accommodation booking.
Once you have all the documentation, it is advisable to complete the online Utair Aviation compensation claim form and we will help you through the whole process to obtain the corresponding compensation.
 

 

Utair Aviation compensation if the return flight is cancelled or there is a cancellation on the stopover flight.

If your return flight is cancelled or there is a cancellation on the stopover flight, you may have to find accommodation and your expenses may increase.
In these cases, all expenses you have incurred, such as for food and other essentials, can be claimed to Utair Aviation.
It is important that you have receipts and documentation to prove that you have had to incur these expenses.
To make sure you get compensated, it is recommended that you go to a company specialised in handling Utair Aviation compensation claims, such as DelayFlight24.com

 

Utair Aviation compensation in the event of a pilot strike

Passengers affected by a pilot strike are entitled to receive a Utair Aviation compensation for the damages suffered.
Although many airlines state that a pilots' strike is a "force majeure or extraordinary circumstance", the reality is that this kind of situation is not covered as such by European regulations on air passengers' rights.
European law states that passengers are entitled to compensation if their flight is cancelled or delayed for more than three hours, unless the airline can prove that the delay or cancellation was due to extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.
Pilot strikes do not fall into this category.
