HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?
Weak claim
Uphill case — the airline has a real argument.
- ✓A delay over 3 hours meets the core requirement for compensation.
- ⚠Severe weather was recorded around this flight. Airlines often cite this as extraordinary circumstances, which can defeat a claim.
- ⚠The delay is very close to the 3-hour line, where exact measurement matters most.
✓ WHY IT MAY QUALIFY
Arrival delay of 188 minutes, measured at the destination doors (Sturgeon; Germanwings C-452/13). Three hours or more pays the same as a cancellation.
Covered by UK261; the distance (239 km) sets the band: up to £220 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 KL1056 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 KLM flights and 1 flight 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.
