More on the defence: what counts as extraordinary circumstances, and what doesn’t.
Why was GEC8220 cancelled?
- Airlines don’t publish the cause, and we don’t know it for this flight.
- The weather record: FRA: Overcast · 7°C · wind 11 km/h.
- That day at Frankfurt, our radar recorded 0 other The airline cancellations and 1 cancellation on 1 other airline.
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.
