One of the most common reasons for flight interruptions is flight strikes, which are often arranged by the personnel, an airport itself, or an airline. As a passenger, you should be aware of EU Regulation 261, under which you might be eligible for Ewa Air compensation of up to 600 Euros.
Read on to find out how you can get compensation and in which situations.
Your Passenger Rights
The good news is that every air traveler is protected by the EU 261 regulation. The EU 261/2004 is a European Union law that sets the rules for assistance and compensation for travelers in cases of flight disruptions. Now, let’s take a closer look at passenger rights, according to EU 261/2004:
- The airline has to provide passengers with information about their rights;
- In case of flight cancellation, a passenger is entitled to select one of the following options: either a ticket refund or rerouting to the final destination under similar conditions. To receive a Ewa Air 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 decide to reroute, 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 Ewa Air Strike Compensation
Often, Ewa Air strikes involve their employees. These can be flight attendants, pilots, engineers, or other essential personnel. As you now know, you may be eligible for airline strike compensation, if your trip was disrupted. The compensation will then cover the inconvenience you experienced due to the strike.
It is also essential 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 obliged to provide compensation. Importantly, if a staff strike occurs, the airline could have potentially foreseen and managed such incidents, therefore these situations are within the airline’s control. That is when flight disruptions are made by the airline’s own employees, these are not cases of extraordinary circumstances. Consequently, passengers are entitled to claim flight compensation.
Nonetheless, you should understand that each incident is individual, meaning that every flight disruption caused by a strike must be carefully analyzed to determine whether the airline will provide compensation.
Ewa Air Strike Compensation
Before seeking the airline strike compensation, you should be aware of the conditions and the amount of compensation you could be entitled to.
Ewa Air Strike Flight Delay Compensation
If your flight was delayed by more than 3 hours due to the Ewa Air 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 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 |
Ewa 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 might not have to pay compensation if it offers 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 can 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 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 |
