HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?
Good claim
Decent case — worth filing; expect one round of pushback.
- ✓A delay over 3 hours meets the core requirement for compensation.
- ✓Weather was clear at both airports, removing the airline’s most common defence.
- ⚠The delay is very close to the 3-hour line, where exact measurement matters most.
✓ WHY IT MAY QUALIFY
Arrival delay of 185 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 (370 km) sets the band: up to €250 per passenger.

More on the defence: what counts as extraordinary circumstances, and what doesn’t.
Why was KL1001 delayed?
- Airlines don’t publish the cause, and we don’t know it for this flight.
- The weather record: AMS: Partially cloudy · 2°C · wind 7 km/h, gusts 13 · LHR: Overcast · 6°C · wind 3 km/h, gusts 6.
- That day at London, our radar recorded 0 other KLM flights and 12 flights on 6 other airlines 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.
