One of the most common reasons for flight interruptions is flight strikes, which are often organized by the personnel, an airport itself, or an airline. As a passenger, you should be aware of the EU 261 regulation, according to which you may be qualified for ITA Airways compensation of up to 600 Euros.
Continue reading to find out how to obtain compensation and when you qualify.
Your Passenger Rights
The good news is that every air traveler is protected by EU Regulation 261. The EU 261 is a European Union regulation 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 European Regulation 261:
- The airline must provide travelers 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 rerouting to the final destination under similar conditions. To receive a ITA Airways 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 between 250 to 600 euros per passenger.
When You Are Entitled to ITA Airways Strike Compensation
Often, ITA Airways strikes involve their staff. These can be engineers, pilots, flight attendants, or any other crucial personnel. As you’re now aware, you may be eligible for airline strike compensation, if your trip was disrupted. The compensation will then cover the inconvenience you faced 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 obliged to provide compensation. Importantly, if a staff strike happens, the airline could have potentially foreseen and handled such incidents, thus such cases 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 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.
ITA Airways Strike Compensation
Before claiming compensation for an airline strike, it’s important to understand the requirements and the amount of compensation you might receive.
ITA Airways Strike Flight Delay Compensation
If your flight was delayed by more than 3 hours because of the ITA Airways 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 |
ITA Airways Strike Flight Cancellation Compensation
If your flight was cancelled and the airline informed you less than 14 days before your scheduled travel, you might qualify for compensation of up to €600 under EU 261. However, in some cases, the airline may avoid paying 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 are entitled to claim compensation.
The amount of the compensation is determined by 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 |
| €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 |
