-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Baku airport.

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation
Be vigilant: Alitalia might cite a disruption without clarifying whether it was its own staff or airport personnel. This distinction changes everything for your {case|right to 400€}.
Question Alitalia's justification. Some carriers falsely present internal strikes as "extraordinary circumstances" to escape {paying compensation|the 400€}.
What are your rights at Baku airport in case of prolonged wait?

Your forced stay at Baku should not cost you a single extra cent beyond your original booking for GYD→FCO. For a medium-haul, accommodation costs at Baku can be significant — Alitalia must cover them.
