Be vigilant: Niki 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€}.
In every scenario, close examination of records will establish whether the conditions were genuinely exceptional. ATC strikes have a proportionally stronger impact on short routes.

The threat of court action often suffices to {make Niki yield|unlock payment}. Airlines know that court fees would greatly surpass the 250€ owed.
