The impact of a strike on your Bulgaria Air compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Bulgaria Air staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Burgas Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.
