-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Frankfurt airport.

The impact of a strike on your Air Baltic compensation
Don't be misled by Air Baltic's vague terms: a "spontaneous" or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. Long-haul flights are often even more impacted by crew strikes.
Remember that the burden of proof lies with Air Baltic. It is up to the airline to prove that the delay of your Frankfurt→Abu Dhabi flight was caused by a genuinely extraordinary event.
What are your rights at Frankfurt airport in case of prolonged wait?
Picture the situation: stranded for hours at Frankfurt am Main International Airport, with no clear information about when you'll fly. In this scenario, Air Baltic has no right to abandon you. CE 261 is clear.
In case of a next-day flight delay, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers to and from Frankfurt am Main International Airport are fully at the airline's expense.
