Why are you entitled to 250 €?

- Arrival airport: Manchester Airport (MAN)
- Flight distance: 691 km (~0h52)

The impact of a strike on your Flybe compensation
Be vigilant: Flybe might cite a disruption without clarifying whether it was its own staff or airport personnel. This distinction changes everything for your {case|right to 250€}.
However, if ground handlers at Nantes Atlantique Airport or screening personnel take action, this constitutes an extraordinary circumstance. In this scenario, the 250€ are not owed.

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Flybe must ensure the wellbeing of passengers stuck at Nantes. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.
The regulation is very clear: assistance is not an optional courtesy from Flybe. It is a legal obligation that can be sanctioned.
