One of the most common factors behind flight interruptions is flight strikes, which may be organized by the personnel, an airport itself, or an airline. As a passenger, you should be aware of the EU 261 regulation, under which you could be eligible for Enter Air compensation of up to 600 Euros.
Learn more to find out how to obtain compensation and under what circumstances.
Your Passenger Rights
The good news is that every air traveler is protected by the EU 261 regulation. The EU 261 is a European Union law that sets the rules for assistance and compensation to passengers in cases of flight disruptions. Now, let’s take a closer look at air passenger rights, according to European Regulation 261:
- The airline needs to provide passengers with information about their rights;
- In the event of flight cancellation, a passenger is entitled to select one of these options: either a ticket refund or rebooking to the final destination under similar conditions. To receive a Enter Air refund, passengers must have a confirmed reservation;
- Passengers can expect to receive meals and drinks; they are also entitled to have two free phone calls, e-mails, or faxes;
- If you decide to reroute, and it involves an overnight stay, the airline is obligated 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 Enter Air Strike Compensation
Frequently, Enter Air strikes involve their workers. These could be flight attendants, pilots, engineers, or any other crucial employees. As you now know, you have the right to claim compensation for airline strikes, if your travel was disrupted. The compensation will then cover the inconvenience you experienced because of the strike.
It is also crucial to understand what “extraordinary circumstances” are. These are events outside of 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, thus these situations are within the airline’s control. That is when flight disruptions are caused by the airline’s own employees, they are not cases of extraordinary circumstances. As a result, passengers have a right 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.
Enter Air Strike Compensation
Before seeking compensation for an airline strike, it’s important to understand the requirements and the amount of compensation you might receive.
Enter Air Strike Flight Delay Compensation
If your flight was delayed by more than 3 hours because of the Enter Air strike, you are entitled to compensation of up to €600 per passenger under EU 261/2004. Keep in mind that the amount of compensation depends on 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 |
Enter Air Strike Flight Cancellation Compensation
If your flight was cancelled and the airline informed you less than 14 days before your scheduled travel, you could receive compensation of up to €600 under EU 261. However, in some cases, the airline may avoid paying compensation if it provides an alternative flight to your final destination that satisfies 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 are entitled to claim compensation.
The amount of the compensation is based on the flight distance and the time of delay in arriving at the final destination. Check the table below for additional information:
| 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 |
