Strike at Glasgow International Airport
If you had plans to travel to or from Glasgow International Airport, the ongoing strike in the country may have disrupted your travel plans and left you feeling frustrated and helpless. However, it’s important to know that in some situations, you may be entitled to compensation for the inconvenience caused by the strike.
Our team is here to help you understand your rights and guide you through the process of determining whether you’re eligible for compensation as a result of the strike in $country.
Strike at Glasgow International Airport: are you entitled to compensation?
If the airline had the power to prevent the strike, you may be entitled to compensation. This means that you have the right to compensation if the airline’s own personnel with whom you are flying with go on strike, whether it is cabin or ground crew. In this case, the airline can be held responsible and you may be entitled to compensation.
Regulation 261/2004 and compensation for airline strike disruptions
Although Regulation 261/2004 provides compensation in certain circumstances, there are numerous scenarios in which you are not entitled to compensation.
When you purchase a ticket, the airline assumes responsibility for getting you from point A to point B. However, if the strike is outside of their control and they cannot fulfill their obligations, you are not eligible for compensation. We know this may be disappointing, but it is important to be aware of your rights.
When are you not entitled to compensation?
You are not entitled to compensation if the strike is caused by personnel other than the airline’s own staff, such as:
- Air traffic control strike
- Security personnel strike
- Baggage handler strike
- Other ground staff strike
What you are entitled to as a victim of the strike at Glasgow International Airport
If your flight is delayed due to the strike in $country and it is outside the control of the airline you are flying with, you are not entitled to compensation. However, if the delay is more than 2 hours, the airline has a duty of care towards you. This means that you are entitled to food and drinks, and if the delay is very long, the airline must also arrange accommodation for you. If the airline fails to do so, you can arrange it yourself and claim the expenses later.
Compensation for delayed or canceled flights
If you arrive at your destination with a delay of more than 3 hours and the airline can be held responsible, you are entitled to compensation. The amount of compensation depends on the distance of the flight. For a flight distance of less than 1500 km, you are entitled to a compensation of €250 per ticket. This amount increases to €600 per ticket if your flight distance is more than 3500 km.
