The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation

The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Air Berlin's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.

In every scenario, close examination of records will establish whether the conditions were genuinely exceptional. ATC strikes have a proportionally stronger impact on short routes.
