Loganair Strike Compensation

One of the most common reasons for flight disruptions is flight strikes, which may be initiated by the personnel, an airport itself, or an airline. As a passenger, you should be aware of European Union Regulation 261, according to which you may be entitled to compensation of up to 600 Euros.

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 to passengers in cases of flight delays and cancellations. 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 has the right to select one of the following options: either a ticket refund or rerouting 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 choose an alternative flight, 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 between 250 to 600 euros per passenger

When You Are Entitled to Loganair Strike Compensation

Frequently, Loganair strikes involve their staff. These can be engineers, pilots, flight attendants, or other essential staff. As you now know, you may be eligible for airline strike compensation, if your travel was disrupted. The compensation will then cover the inconvenience you experienced due to the strike.

It is also important 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 occurs, 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, these are not cases of extraordinary circumstances. Consequently, passengers have a right to claim flight compensation.

Nonetheless, 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.

Loganair Strike Compensation

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

Loganair Strike Flight Delay Compensation

The longer a flight is delayed, the more trouble it creates for passengers. When airline workers go on strike, it can disrupt travelers’ plans and make them arrive at their final destination much later than expected. It is important to be aware that if your flight is delayed for over 3 hours due to a strike, you are eligible for compensation from the airline for the inconvenience caused.

In evaluating the potential sum of compensation, passengers should take two critical facts into account: the flight’s distance and the delay length they experience. It’s essential to understand these factors, as only that is how you can be calm regarding the fair flight delay compensation you deserve. In the following, you can find a table with the amounts of compensation you can get.

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

Loganair Strike Flight Cancellation Compensation

Sometimes, it also happens that airline strikes result in flight cancellation. According to EU Regulation 261/2004, you can claim 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 informed you about the cancellation less than two weeks before your travel.

However, there are always some exceptions to the rules, and here is the case. The airline has a right to avoid paying compensation if it provides the passenger an alternative flight. This alternative flight must meet the criteria enumerated 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 have a right 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. Take a look at 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
