HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?
Unlikely to qualify
Uphill case — the airline has a real argument.
Scored in full once the claim is created.
✓ WHY IT MAY QUALIFY
Arrival delay of 209 minutes, measured at the destination doors (Sturgeon; Germanwings C-452/13). Three hours or more pays the same as a cancellation.
Covered by EC261; the distance (8,910 km) sets the band: up to €600 per passenger.
☔ WEATHER AT THE TIME
Weather evidence is pulled from the airports’ own records when the claim is created — it’s what answers the airline’s “extraordinary circumstances” letter.
Why was CA1043 delayed?
- Airlines don’t publish the cause, and we don’t know it for this flight.
- That day at Amsterdam, our radar recorded 0 other The airline flights and 2 flights on 1 other airline cancelled or 3+ hours late.
To refuse compensation, the airline has to prove the cause was an extraordinary circumstance that could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken (EC261 Article 5(3)).
Technical faults almost never count, and neither does a strike by the airline’s own staff. The EU’s top court has ruled on both (C-549/07, C-28/20).
Severe weather and air traffic control limits can count, but the airline must show they caused this flight’s disruption.
Weather can excuse compensation, never care: meals, hotel, and rebooking are owed regardless of cause.
