Compensation and Reimbursement for Alliance Air Strike

Flight delays or cancellations caused by an airline strike can seriously disrupt travel plans. Fortunately, in many cases, passengers are protected by EU261 regulation. This regulation establishes the rules for assistance and compensation for travelers in cases of airline strikes. In this article, we will look at your rights as a passenger and the process of claiming compensation from the airline.

When Are You Entitled to Alliance Air Strike Compensation?

European Union Regulation 261/2004 protects passengers affected by airline strikes. This law obliges the airline to pay compensation in case of a standard crew strike and a “wildcat” strike. These labor disputes are considered part of operational problems, therefore, the airline is responsible for them.

It is important to understand that the situation with compensation is complex. Certain strikes may qualify for the “extraordinary circumstances” exception. These include strikes by baggage handlers, firefighters, ground staff, etc. When faced with disruptions resulting from these ground staff, the chances of receiving compensation may be significantly reduced. It is crucial to identify exactly which crew is involved in the strike. This directly affects your right to compensation.

Flight Cancellation Compensation

In the event of flight cancellation due to a strike, the airline must inform travelers of the cancellation at least 14 days before the scheduled departure. If the airline fails to notify you during the specified period, it is obliged to pay compensation to travelers in the amount of up to 600 euros.

It is crucial to note that the airline is not obligated to issue 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 might be entitled to compensation. The amount of compensation is based on the duration of the delay and the distance of the flight, as shown in the following 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 EU261/2004 regulation, if your flight is delayed and you arrive at 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 Alliance Air Strike Compensation

When a flight disruption occurs, passengers could be eligible for compensation, but certain criteria must be met. It’s crucial to understand these requirements to properly navigate the compensation process:

  • Your flight must be covered by the EU261 regulation. This covers all flights leaving from EU airports, regardless of the airline. It also covers flights arriving in the EU, but only when operated by an EU-based airline.
  • A flight cancellation or delay 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 14 days’ notice before the scheduled departure.
  • You must have a confirmed reservation and be prepared to travel. This includes having a valid booking and all essential travel documents ready (passport, visas).
  • You need to get to the airport on time. Check-in within 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.

If you believe you meet these criteria following a Alliance Air strike, it’s advisable to document your experience thoroughly and communicate directly with the airline about your compensation claim. Understanding your rights and responsibilities is the first step towards potentially receiving compensation for an airline strike.

How to Claim Alliance Air Strike Compensation

Dealing with delayed or cancelled flights due to strikes is always frustrating. This can spoil your trip but also create problems – emotional, financial, etc. To seek compensation for this inconvenience, take the following actions:

  1. Complete our form. You’ll need to provide details such as your flight number, date, and what went wrong.
  2. Let our experts help you. Once you submit the form, our team will manage the process. We are well-versed in the EU laws comprehensively and will make every effort to secure your compensation. You are only charged if we win your case.

Following these steps, you’ll receive the compensation you are entitled to under EU law.

Other Rights in Case of a Flight Strike

In addition to compensation, passengers should know about certain services they can expect to receive from the airline in case 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 each passenger.

Right to Care

If the flight delay is 2+ hours, the airline is obligated to provide affected passengers with certain services to alleviate discomfort. Some of the basic services are free beverages and meals. Additionally, the affected passengers have a right to make 2 calls and send faxes, or e-mails for free.

Rebooking or Refunds

If your flight is cancelled or delayed by over five hours, you can request a full refund or an alternative flight to your final destination. These solutions offer some flexibility, which is great because you can choose what works best for you.
