Frequently Asked Questions — Delays and cancellations at Brussels South Charleroi Airport
Delays and cancellations at Brussels South Charleroi Airport: can the airline deny my claim?
Unfortunately, there are some situations when the airline cannot compensate you for your delayed or cancelled flights. When a delay or cancellation is brought on by a third party or an unforeseeable occurrence, these are referred to as extraordinary circumstances (situations that are out of the airline’s control).
Here are a few examples of those extraordinary circumstances:
Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.
A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).
However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!
Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.
Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.
A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.
An ill or unruly passenger.
Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.
How much time do I have to submit my flight compensation claim?
This depends on the relevant laws of the country of departure, the country of arrival, and the country where the airline is headquartered.
For instance, if you took an Air France flight from Brussels South Charleroi Airport to London Heathrow, you could submit a claim under the categories listed:
Belgian law: 1 year
British law: 6 years
French law: 5 year
