If your flight was delayed or cancelled due to an airline staff strike, you may be entitled to compensation under EU law (up to €600). Fly Reclaim can help—fast and no win, no fee.

What Strikes Count?
  • Strikes by airline employees (e.g., pilots, cabin crew) are not considered “extraordinary circumstances” under EU law, meaning compensation is usually due. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
  • Strikes by third parties (e.g., air traffic control, airport staff) may be considered extraordinary and could disqualify you from compensation. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
