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

The difference is fine but crucial. By engaging specialist lawyers, they will check in aeronautical databases the real cause of the delay logged on the day of your St-Etienne → Bastia flight.

What are your rights at St-Etienne airport in case of prolonged wait?
