Marabu Strike Compensation

One of the most common causes of flight interruptions is flight strikes, which may be organized by airline staff, an airport itself, or an airline. As a passenger, you should be aware of European Union Regulation 261, according to which you may be qualified for compensation of up to 600 Euros.

Read on to find out how to obtain compensation and in which situations.

Your Passenger Rights

The good news is that every air traveler is protected by EU Regulation 261. The EU 261 is a European Union law that sets the rules for assistance and compensation to passengers in cases of flight delays and cancellations. Now, let’s take a closer look at air passenger rights, according to EU 261/2004:

• The airline has to provide passengers with information about their rights.
• In the event 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 meals and drinks; 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 Marabu Strike Compensation

Frequently, Marabu strikes involve their employees. These could be engineers, pilots, flight attendants, or any other crucial staff. As you now know, you can seek airline strike compensation, if your travel was disrupted. The compensation will then cover the inconvenience you encountered 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. It is important to note if a staff strike happens, the airline could have potentially foreseen and managed such incidents, therefore such cases 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 have a right 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.

Marabu Strike Compensation

Before seeking compensation for an airline strike, it’s important to understand the conditions and the amount of compensation you could be entitled to.

Marabu Strike Flight Delay Compensation

The longer a flight is delayed, the more trouble it creates for travelers. When airline workers go on strike, it can disrupt passengers’ plans and make them arrive at their final destination much later than expected. It is crucial to know that if your flight is delayed for over 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’s crucial to understand these factors, 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 may 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

Marabu Strike Flight Cancellation Compensation

Sometimes, it also happens that airline strikes result in flight cancellation. Under EU 261, you may receive 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 14 days before your travel.

However, 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 requirements 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 have a right 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. Take a look at 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
