Extraordinary circumstances — can Israir deny me compensation?
When a delay or cancellation is the result of a third party or a force majeure event, Israir has the discretion to decline compensation, and these situations are typically known as 'extraordinary circumstances.'
Some of the most commonly encountered extraordinary circumstances include:
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.
Keep in mind, airlines may sometimes wrongly claim extraordinary circumstances to avoid compensation. Our legal experts are here to assist you. Submitting a claim with Flight-Delayed.co.uk is quick and easy. We operate on a 'no win, no fee' basis, so there's no financial risk for you
