What do our experts do and how can they increase your chances of winning a claim?
After dealing with airlines for over 10 years, it’s safe to say that we are familiar with all of their sneaky tricks and challenges. To defend your entitlement to compensation, our team evaluates your claim, puts together the appropriate paperwork, keeps in touch with the airline's legal team, and, if necessary, goes to court. No win, no fee.
However, there are times when the airline does not have to offer flight compensation for your delayed or cancelled flights. These are called "extraordinary circumstances," which occur when a third party or unforeseeable event caused the delay or cancellation and not the airline.
Here is a list of some examples of those situations:
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.
The particular regulations of the country of departure, the country of arrival, and the country where the airline is based determine the amount of time to submit a claim.
For instance, if you had a flight from Groningen Airport Eelde to the Channel Islands (Guernsey) operated by AlbaStar, you would be able to claim under the:
Dutch law: 2 years
British law: 6 years
Spanish law: 5 years
