HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?

Possible claim — mixed factors

Decent case — worth filing; expect one round of pushback.

✓A delay of 6h 47m is well past the 3-hour threshold, leaving little room to dispute.
⚠Severe weather was recorded around this flight. Airlines often cite this as extraordinary circumstances, which can defeat a claim.

✓ WHY IT MAY QUALIFY

Arrival delay of 407 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 (1,300 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 U28028 delayed?

Airlines don’t publish the cause, and we don’t know it for this flight.
That day at London, our radar recorded 5 other easyJet 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.
