The impact of a strike on your Eurolot compensation

When industrial action disrupts your journey to Lublin, {the airline|Eurolot} will often try to refuse the claim. However, a strike by its employees no longer constitutes, according to case law, an exempting circumstance.

However, if air traffic controllers at Gda?sk Lech Wa??sa Airport or security staff go on strike, this is indeed an force majeure situation. In this case, the 250€ cannot be claimed.

If Gda?sk Lech Wa??sa Airport becomes your temporary home because of Eurolot, know that your basic needs must be met by the airline. Assistance is due from 2 hours for flights of this distance.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Eurolot?
