In the case of a cancellation, if you were notified less than 14 days before your departure from Gran Canaria, the regulation applies in the same way.

• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Berlin (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation

A work stoppage by Air Berlin's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.

A strike by ATC services at Gran Canaria Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which Air Berlin has no control.

What are your rights at Gran Canaria airport in case of prolonged wait?

What few know: the assistance obligation remains valid even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 400€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Air Berlin is excused from compensation, assistance remains mandatory.
