Exceptions: When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation
There are certain situations where airlines are not required to pay compensation, even in cases of flight delays, cancellations, or denied boarding. These may include:
- Weather conditions (such as storms or fog).
- Security threats.
- Air traffic control restrictions.
- Strikes outside the airline’s control.
- Mechanical issues related to safety.
In these circumstances, airlines must still provide assistance, including alternative travel arrangements and refreshments, but financial compensation may not be payable.
