Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I claim compensation for flights affected by strikes?
While delayed flights due to strikes happen quite frequently, it’s not always possible to get compensation. You can only claim for strike-related delayed flights if it’s the airline workers that are on strike, not the airport’s. Even in that case, it may be harder to get compensation.
-
How long does the compensation claim process take?
If there are no disputes and the airline accepts responsibility, it usually takes up to 8 weeks. In other cases, the process can extend to several months, for example, additional documentation or clarification can be required for international flights.
