Extraordinary circumstances — can Wamos deny me compensation?
Yes, in certain circumstances Wamos can deny you compensation. When the delay or the cancellation was caused by a third party or force majeure, Wamos is not responsible for the event — therefore, they are not obliged to pay compensation. We call these situations extraordinary circumstances.
Some of the most common extraordinary circumstances are:
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.
