Delays and cancellations at Bristol: can the airline deny my claim?
An airline may, however, occasionally find itself unable to make up for a delayed or cancelled flight. These situations, which are referred to as "extraordinary circumstances," take place when a third party or unanticipated event renders the delay or cancellation inevitable and disqualifies the airline from responsibility.
Here are some examples of those 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?
If you are travelling to or from the United Kingdom, you have 6 years to file a claim for flight compensation and/or refund. Scotland is the only exception in the UK, where you have 5 years to submit a claim.
