  • Flight distance: 7 371 km (~9h13)

The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 600 € will not be due.
