Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Munich, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation

The CJEU has definitively ruled: staff strikes are not force majeure for carriers. This precedent is authoritative across all 27 EU member states.

Remember that the burden of proof lies with Air Berlin. It is up to the airline to prove that the delay of your Munich→Kerkyra/corfu flight was caused by a genuinely extraordinary event.

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Air Berlin must ensure the wellbeing of passengers stuck at Munich. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.

Your forced stay at Munich should not cost you a single extra cent beyond your original booking for MUC→CFU. Even on a short route, hotel accommodation is owed for overnight delays.
