Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation

The principle is clear: if Air Berlin's staff stop work, it is a risk that {the airline|Air Berlin} should have anticipated. Therefore, {your compensation|the 400€} remains owed.

The key question is invariably: which staff stopped work? If {the answer is yes|it's Air Berlin's employees}, {you're entitled to 400€|compensation is owed}. If it's a third party, only care remains.

What are your rights at Kerkyra/corfu airport in case of prolonged wait?

An often-forgotten point: the right to care applies even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 400€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Air Berlin is exempt from the payout, care is still owed.

Many passengers don't know that transport between the hotel and the airport of Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport is also covered in the mandatory care required of Air Berlin.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

A refusal is never final. It's often a filter in the claims process that professionals overcome routinely. Refuse to let this barrier deprive you of your 400€ rightfully owed.

The threat of court action often suffices to {make Air Berlin yield|unlock payment}. Airlines know that court fees would greatly surpass the 400€ owed.
