Frequently Asked Questions – Delays and cancellations at Munich Airport

Delays and cancellations at Munich: can the airline deny my claim?

Unfortunately, an airline may be unable to compensate you for a delayed or cancelled flight. These are known as "extraordinary circumstances," which occur when a third party or an unforeseeable incident causes the delay or cancellation, thereby absolving the airline of responsibility.

Here are some examples of such 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.
