Flight cancellations or delays caused by an airline strike can seriously disrupt travel plans. However, in many cases, passengers are covered under EU261/2004 regulation. This regulation establishes the rules for compensation and assistance for travelers during airline strikes. In this article, we will look at passenger rights and how to claim compensation from the airline.

When Are You Entitled to Aeromexico Strike Compensation?

EU Regulation 261/2004 protects travelers affected by airline strikes. This regulation obliges the airline to issue compensation in the event of a standard crew strike and a “wildcat” strike. These labor disputes are considered part of operational problems, as a result, the airline is responsible for them.

It is crucial to understand that the situation with compensation is complex. Certain strikes may qualify for the “extraordinary circumstances” exception. These include strikes by baggage handlers, fire crews, ground personnel, etc. In the event of disruptions due to these ground staff, the chances of obtaining compensation may be significantly reduced. It is essential to determine exactly which staff is involved in the strike. This directly affects your eligibility for compensation.

Flight Cancellation Compensation

In the event of flight cancellation due to a strike, the airline must notify travelers of the cancellation at least 14 days before the scheduled departure. If the airline doesn’t inform you within the specified period, it is obliged to pay compensation to passengers in the amount of up to 600 euros.

It is important to note that the airline is not obligated to pay compensation by providing you with an alternative flight to your final destination. However, if the alternative flight results in a later arrival at the final destination, passengers could be entitled to compensation. The amount of compensation depends on the duration of the delay and the distance of the flight, as displayed in the table:

Under 2 hours2-3 hours3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursNever arrivedDistance
€125€250€250€250€250All flights 1,500 km or less
€200€200€400€400€400Internal EU flights over 1,500 km
€200€200€400€400€400Non-internal EU flights 1,500 km- 3,500 km
€300€300€300€600€600Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km

Flight Delay Compensation

According to the EU261 regulation, if your flight is delayed and you reach your final destination more than three hours later than scheduled, you are entitled to compensation of up to €600 per passenger. It is important to note that the duration of the delay depends solely on when you arrive at your final destination, not on how late the plane departed.

The amount of compensation is based on the distance of the flight and the duration of the delay:

Less than 3 hoursBetween 3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursDistance
€0€250€250All flights up to 1500 km
€0€400€400All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km
€0€400€400All intra-EU flights over 3500 km
€0€300€600All non-EU flights over 3500 km

Requirements for Aeromexico Strike Compensation

When a travel disruption occurs, passengers could be entitled to compensation, but certain requirements must be met. It’s important to understand these requirements to effectively manage the compensation process:

  • Your flight must be covered by the EU261/2004 regulation. This covers all flights leaving from EU airports, regardless of the airline. It also applies to flights arriving in the EU, but only when operated by an EU-based airline.
  • A flight delay or cancellation has significantly disrupted your travel plans. This means your flight was delayed by three hours or more at the final destination, or it was cancelled with fewer than fourteen days’ notice before the scheduled departure.
  • You are required to have a valid reservation and be ready to travel. This includes having a confirmed booking and all necessary travel documents ready (passport, visas).
  • You need to arrive at the airport on time. Complete check-in by the time specified by your airline. If a time isn’t specified, arrive at least 45 minutes before the scheduled departure to stay eligible for compensation.

In case you believe you meet these criteria following a Aeromexico strike, it’s advisable to document your experience thoroughly and get in touch directly with the airline about your compensation claim. Understanding your rights and responsibilities is the first step to potentially receiving compensation for an airline strike.

Other Rights in Case of a Flight Strike

In addition to compensation, passengers must know about certain services they can expect to receive from the airline in the event of a flight disruption. These services aim to reduce inconveniences and provide some comfort to passengers during delays or cancellations. Keep in mind that the services we are describing below fall under the airline company’s duty to care for every passenger.

Right to Care

If the flight delay is two hours or more, the airline is obligated to provide affected passengers with certain services to reduce discomfort. Some of the basic services include free beverages and meals. Additionally, the affected passengers have a right to make 2 calls and send faxes, or emails for free.

Rebooking or Refunds

If your flight is cancelled or delayed by more than five hours, you have the right to a full refund or an alternative flight to your final destination. These options have some flexibility, which is great because you can choose what works best for you.
