Sundair Strike Compensation

One of the most common causes of flight disruptions is flight strikes, which can be arranged by airline staff, an airport itself, or an airline. As a passenger, you should be aware of EU Regulation 261, according to which you might be qualified for compensation of up to 600 Euros.

Continue reading to find out how to obtain compensation and in which situations.

Your Passenger Rights

The good news is that any passenger is protected by EU Regulation 261. The EU 261/2004 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 air passenger rights, under European Regulation 261:

• The airline is required to provide travelers with information about their rights.
• In the event of flight cancellation, a passenger is entitled to select one of the following 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 airport and the hotel.
• Compensation from 250 to 600 euros per passenger

When You Are Entitled to Sundair Strike Compensation

Frequently, Sundair strikes involve their staff. These could be pilots, engineers, flight attendants, or any other crucial personnel. As you now know, you can seek airline strike compensation, if your travel was disrupted. The compensation will then cover the inconvenience you experienced because of the strike.

It is also essential 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, therefore 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. As a result, passengers are entitled to claim flight compensation.

However, you need to be aware 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.

Sundair Strike Compensation

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

Sundair 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 essential to be aware that if your flight is delayed for over 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 facts into account: the flight’s distance and the duration of the delay. It’s crucial 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 could 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

Sundair Strike Flight Cancellation Compensation

Sometimes, it also happens that airline strikes result in flight cancellation. Under EU 261/2004, you are eligible for 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 notified 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 flight must meet the conditions 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 can 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
