Incidents at Amsterdam Schiphol
Modern airports are complex operations handling large volumes of passengers and aircraft. Occasionally, operational incidents occur.
Neither the airport nor the airline can generally be held responsible if your flight was disrupted due to war or political crisis. Terrorist actions are also outside airline control. Additionally, certain airport equipment failures or runway incidents may disrupt operations.
EU Regulation EC 261/2004 recognizes that airport operations-related incidents beyond the airline’s control may qualify as extraordinary circumstances. In such cases, compensation may not be payable. However, airlines may still be required to provide care and assistance under EU rules when applicable.
Strikes at Amsterdam Schiphol
Airports employ many workers, and labor strikes can disrupt operations. Such strikes may lead to Amsterdam Schiphol flight delays and cancellations.
Air traffic controller strikes can affect flights both at the airport and in surrounding airspace. Other airport staff, including baggage handlers or security personnel, may also strike.
Under EU Regulation EC 261/2004, strikes by airport staff that are outside the airline’s control may qualify as extraordinary circumstances. In such cases, flights delayed or cancelled for this reason may not be eligible for compensation.
Bad weather conditions at Amsterdam Schiphol
Aircraft operations depend on safe weather conditions. Severe weather can result in Amsterdam Schiphol Airport delays and cancellations, particularly during winter months.
Wind speed and visibility are common causes of weather-related disruptions. Weather conditions at your destination airport can also impact your departure. If conditions are unsafe for flying, airlines may need to delay or cancel flights.
Because airlines cannot control weather conditions, EU Regulation EC 261/2004 generally considers such disruptions extraordinary circumstances, meaning compensation may not apply.
