HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?
Good claim
Decent case — worth filing; expect one round of pushback.
- ✓A delay of 5h 50m is well past the 3-hour threshold, leaving little room to dispute.
- ⚠There were adverse weather conditions around this flight, which an airline may point to — though moderate weather alone rarely qualifies as extraordinary.
✓ WHY IT MAY QUALIFY
Arrival delay of 350 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 (1,084 km) sets the band: up to €250 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 FR2921 delayed?
- Airlines don’t publish the cause, and we don’t know it for this flight.
- Our radar recorded no other cancellations or 3-hour delays at Brussels that day.
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.
