Nordica Strike Compensation

One of the most common causes of flight interruptions is flight strikes, which may be organized by the personnel, an airport itself, or an airline. As a passenger, you should be aware of the EU 261 regulation, under which you might be eligible for compensation of up to 600 Euros.

Read on to find out how to obtain compensation and under what circumstances.

Your Passenger Rights

The good news is that every air traveler is protected by the EU 261 regulation. The EU 261 is a European Union regulation 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, under 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 the following options: either a ticket refund or rerouting 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 from 250 to 600 euros per passenger

When You Are Entitled to Nordica Strike Compensation

Often, Nordica strikes involve their employees. These can be flight attendants, pilots, engineers, or any other crucial staff. As you’re now aware, you have the right to claim compensation for airline strikes, 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 outside of the airline’s control. If a strike is considered one of these circumstances, the airline is not required 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, they 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.

Nordica Strike Compensation

Before seeking the airline strike compensation, it’s important to understand the conditions and the amount of compensation you might receive.

Nordica Strike Flight Delay Compensation

The longer a flight is delayed, the more trouble it causes passengers. 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 essential to know 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 considering the potential sum of compensation, passengers should take two critical facts into account: the distance of the flight 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 deserve. Below you can see a table with the amounts of compensation you may 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

Nordica Strike Flight Cancellation Compensation

Sometimes, it also happens that airline strikes cause flight cancellations. According to EU Regulation 261, you can claim compensation of up to 600 Euros. It’s important to know 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.

Nevertheless, there are always some exceptions to the regulations, and here is the case. The airline has a right 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 your destination was still delayed, you are entitled 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
