The impact of a strike on your Libyan Arab Airlines compensation
A strike action by Libyan Arab Airlines's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250€.
Key distinction: if the delay is caused by airport staff, Libyan Arab Airlines is released from paying the 250€ indemnity, but not its care obligation.
What are your rights at Malta airport in case of prolonged wait?
Picture the situation: stranded for hours at Luqa Airport, with no clear information about when you'll fly. In this scenario, Libyan Arab Airlines has no right to abandon you. The law forbids it.
Even in extraordinary circumstances, the right to assistance at Malta remains valid. The hotel is owed if Libyan Arab Airlines pushes your flight by a day.
