Are You Eligible for Airline Strike Compensation?
When Can You Claim Compensation for an Airline Strike?
Not all strikes qualify for airline strike compensation.
You can claim flight compensation if your flight was disrupted by an airline staff strike, including pilots, cabin crew, or engineers.
However, strikes by airport staff, air traffic control (ATC), or other extraordinary circumstances do not qualify.
What Types of Disruptions Are Covered?
- Flight delays. If your flight was delayed due to a strike and arrived at the final destination 3+ hours late.
- Flight cancellations. If your flight was cancelled less than 14 days before departure due to strike.
- Denied boarding. If your seat was overbooked because of cancellations caused by an airline strike.
