We handle claims related to delays, cancellations, missed connections, and airline issues like overbooking. Since June 2025, we've expanded to include baggage claims for lost, delayed, or destroyed luggage. Operating across the EU, UK, and other international markets, we focus on protecting air passenger rights globally. We have processed over 480,000 claims from 221 countries, with a 4.7-star rating from 25,000+ reviews. Currently available in 21 languages, with 9 more upcoming, AirAdvisor is a fast-growing startup with ambitious international expansion plans aiming for 1 million claims by 2026.

We seek a highly skilled Litigation Lawyer specializing in consumer flight claims, particularly in small claims procedures, to lead in-court collections and potentially open their own boutique legal firm in Italy. Pre-court collections are managed by paralegals. Your responsibilities include filing batches of court cases to recover compensation and reimburse passengers for out-of-pocket expenses or ticket refunds. Our claims focus on EU261 compensation, baggage claims under the Montreal Convention, and related legal actions.

If legal decisions are unfair, we consider escalation to change laws and may seek PR opportunities for court victories and legal issues to raise public awareness.
