Nordica Strike Compensation

One of the most common reasons for flight disruptions is flight strikes, which are often arranged by airline workers, an airport itself, or an airline. As a passenger, you should be aware of EU Regulation 261, according to which you could be entitled to compensation of up to 600 Euros.

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 law that sets the rules for assistance and compensation for travelers in cases of flight delays and cancellations. Now, let’s take a closer look at passenger rights, according to EU 261:

• The airline needs to provide travelers with information about their rights.
• In the event of flight cancellation, a passenger is entitled 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 decide to reroute, 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 Nordica Strike Compensation

Frequently, Nordica strikes involve their workers. These could be engineers, pilots, flight attendants, or other essential employees. As you’re now aware, you can seek airline strike compensation, if your travel was disrupted. The compensation will then cover the inconvenience you faced due to the strike.

It is also essential 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 handled such incidents, therefore these situations are within the airline’s control. That is when flight disruptions are caused by the airline’s own employees, they are not cases of extraordinary circumstances. Consequently, passengers are entitled 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, you should be aware of the conditions and the amount of compensation you could be entitled to.

Nordica 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 important to know that if your flight is delayed for more than 3 hours because of a strike, you have the right to seek compensation from the airline for the inconvenience caused.

When assessing the potential sum of compensation, passengers should take two critical factors into account: the flight’s distance and the duration of the delay. It is important 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 could 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 result in flight cancellation. According to EU 261, you may receive compensation of up to 600 Euros. Note 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.

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 requirements 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 fully depends on 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
