The impact of a strike on your Air France compensation
A work stoppage by Air France's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 600€.
A strike by ATC services at Salt Lake City International Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which Air France has no control.

If you lack availability for months of back-and-forth, outsourcing your case to legal experts is the most effective way to see your 600€ arrive in your bank account.
How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?
Stay determined despite Air France's non-response. It's a calculated strategy to make you abandon. Statistics show that the majority of passengers drop their claim before resolution.
By handing over the recovery of your 600€ to a professional service, you avoid long delays and the anxiety of seeing your case shelved, as follow-ups are handled by aviation law professionals.
