Extraordinary circumstances — can Finnair deny me compensation?

Finnair can deny flight compensation if the delay or cancellation was caused by a third party or force majeure. These situations are referred to as 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.

 

Watch out though! Airlines can sometimes claim that an extraordinary circumstance occurred, even if this was not the case. They are hoping to avoid having to pay passengers their well-deserved flight compensation.

Don't be duped by Finnair's false arguments. Check online if you are eligible for flight compensation.
