The airline is obligated to inform passengers about upcoming strikes and any resulting canceled or delayed flights. In case you want to be extra sure, you can check the websites of your airline and airport.
Contact the airline, collect all documents, and file a compensation claim if you experience canceled flights. Whether IT outages are considered extraordinary circumstances, for which airlines won’t provide compensation, varies. It’s better to file a claim with a trusted partner, such as Lennuabi.

We could speculate that while smaller airports are less likely to be targeted by large systematic attacks, they have some other vulnerabilities arising from gaps in staff training and technology used.

Security breaches may cause delayed or canceled flights and other travel disturbances. In most cases, such incidents are treated as extraordinary circumstances and don’t entitle passengers to compensation. However, airlines should still provide you with travel assistance.
