Delays and cancellations at Brussels South Charleroi Airport: can the airline deny my claim?

Unfortunately, there are some situations when the airline cannot compensate you for your delayed or cancelled flights. When a delay or cancellation is brought on by a third party or an unforeseeable occurrence, these are referred to as extraordinary circumstances (situations that are out of the airline’s control).

Here are a few examples of those extraordinary 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!
