One of the most common causes of flight interruptions is flight strikes, which can be organized by airline workers, an airport itself, or an airline. As a passenger, you should be aware of the EU 261 regulation, according to which you may be entitled to Air Dolomiti compensation of up to 600 Euros.

Your Passenger Rights
The good news is that every air traveler is protected by EU Regulation 261. The EU 261/2004 is a European Union law that sets the rules for compensation and assistance for travelers in cases of flight delays and cancellations. Now, let’s take a closer look at passenger rights, under EU 261/2004:
- The airline has to provide travelers with information about their rights;
- In the event of flight cancellation, a passenger is entitled to select one of the following options: either a ticket refund or rebooking to the final destination under similar conditions. To receive a Air Dolomiti refund, passengers must have a confirmed reservation;
- Passengers can expect to receive food and beverages; they are also entitled to have two free phone calls, e-mails, or faxes;
- If you choose an alternative flight, and it involves an overnight stay, the airline is required to provide hotel accommodation, as well as transportation between the the hotel and airport;
- Compensation from 250 to 600 euros per passenger.
When You Are Entitled to Air Dolomiti Strike Compensation
Frequently, Air Dolomiti strikes involve their staff. These could be flight attendants, pilots, engineers, or other essential employees. As you’re now aware, you have the right to claim compensation for airline strikes, if your travel was disrupted. The compensation will then cover the inconvenience you experienced due to the strike.
It is also important to understand what “extraordinary circumstances” are. These are events beyond the airline’s control. If a strike is considered one of these circumstances, the airline is not required to provide compensation. It is important to note if a staff strike happens, the airline could have potentially foreseen and handled such incidents, therefore such cases are within the airline’s control. That is when flight disruptions are made by the airline’s own employees, they are not cases of extraordinary circumstances. As a result, passengers are entitled to claim flight compensation.
However, you should understand that each incident is unique, meaning that every flight disruption caused by a strike must be carefully analyzed to determine whether the airline will provide compensation.
Air Dolomiti Strike Compensation
Before claiming the airline strike compensation, you should be aware of the conditions and the amount of compensation you might receive.
Air Dolomiti Strike Flight Delay Compensation
If your flight was delayed by more than 3 hours due to the Air Dolomiti strike, you may be eligible for compensation of up to €600 per passenger under EU 261/2004. Keep in mind that the amount of compensation is determined by the distance of the flight and the time of delay.
For more details on the amount of compensation, see the table below:
| Less than 3 hours | Between 3-4 hours | Over 4 hours | Distance |
| €0 | €250 | €250 | All flights up to 1500 km |
| €0 | €400 | €400 | All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km |
| €0 | €400 | €400 | All intra-EU flights over 3500 km |
| €0 | €300 | €600 | All non-EU flights over 3500 km |
Air Dolomiti Strike Flight Cancellation Compensation
If your flight was cancelled and the airline informed you less than 14 days before your scheduled travel, you may be entitled to compensation of up to €600 under EU 261. However, in some cases, the airline might not have to pay compensation if it provides an alternative flight to your final destination that meets certain criteria listed below:
| Advance Notice | Re-routing Requirements |
| 14 Days | None |
| 7 – 13 Days | Alternative flight departing no more than 2 hours before and arriving less than 4 hours after the original flight |
| Less than 7 Days | Alternative flight departing no more than 1 hour before and arriving less than 2 hours after the original flight |
Importantly, if you used an alternative flight but your final arrival time at your destination was still delayed, you have a right to claim compensation.
The amount of the compensation fully depends on the flight distance and the time of delay in arriving at the final destination. Take a look at the table below for more details:
| Under 2 hours | 2-3 hours | 3-4 hours | Over 4 hours | Never arrived | Distance |
| €125 | €250 | €250 | €250 | €250 | All flights 1,500 km or less |
| €200 | €200 | €400 | €400 | €400 | Internal EU flights over 1,500 km |
| €200 | €200 | €400 | €400 | €400 | Non-internal EU flights 1,500 km- 3,500 km |
| €300 | €300 | €300 | €600 | €600 | Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km |
