Hahn Air Strike Compensation

One of the most common causes of flight interruptions is flight strikes, which can be initiated by airline staff, an airport itself, or an airline. As a passenger, you should be aware of EU Regulation 261, under which you might be qualified for compensation of up to 600 Euros.

Read on to find out how to obtain compensation and when you qualify.

Your Passenger Rights

The good news is that any passenger is protected by EU Regulation 261. The EU 261/2004 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 passenger rights, under EU 261:

• The airline needs to provide passengers with information about their rights.
• In case of flight cancellation, a passenger has the right to choose one of these options: either a ticket refund or rebooking to the final destination under similar conditions;
• 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 obligated to provide hotel accommodation, as well as transportation between the airport and the hotel.
• Compensation between 250 to 600 euros per passenger

When You Are Entitled to Hahn Air Strike Compensation

Often, Hahn Air strikes involve their workers. These could be flight attendants, pilots, engineers, or other essential personnel. As you’re now aware, you may be eligible for airline strike compensation, if your travel was disrupted. The compensation will then cover the inconvenience you encountered 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 obliged to provide compensation. It is important to note if a staff strike happens, 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 caused by the airline’s own employees, these are not cases of extraordinary circumstances. Consequently, passengers are entitled to claim flight compensation.

However, you need to be aware that each incident is unique, meaning that every flight disruption caused by a strike must be carefully analyzed to determine whether the airline will pay compensation.

Hahn Air Strike Compensation

Before claiming the airline strike compensation, you need to know about the conditions and the amount of compensation you could be entitled to.

Hahn Air Strike Flight Delay Compensation

The longer a flight is delayed, the more trouble it causes travelers. When airline staff go on strike, it can disrupt travelers’ plans and make them arrive at their final destination much later than expected. It is essential to be aware that if your flight is delayed for more than 3 hours because of a strike, you can claim compensation from the airline for the inconvenience caused.

In assessing the potential sum of compensation, passengers need to take two critical facts into account: the flight’s distance and the duration of the delay. It is important to understand these details, as only that is how you can be calm regarding the fair flight delay compensation you are entitled to. In the following, you can find a table with the amounts of compensation you can receive.

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

Hahn Air Strike Flight Cancellation Compensation

Sometimes, it also happens that airline strikes result in flight cancellations. According to EU 261/2004, you are eligible for compensation of up to 600 Euros. Keep in mind that the regulation also states that you are entitled to compensation in the case when the airline notified you about the cancellation less than 14 days before your travel.

Nevertheless, there are always some exceptions to the rules, and here is the case. The airline is entitled to avoid paying compensation if it provides the passenger an alternative flight. This flight must meet the 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 the destination point 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 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
