The impact of a strike on your Royal Jordanian compensation

Be wary by Royal Jordanian's evasive wording: a "wildcat" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

A strike by air traffic control at Zurich or Eurocontrol is an independent circumstance over which Royal Jordanian cannot act.

Care is due after 2h of delay for this route. Royal Jordanian must guarantee the wellbeing of passengers stranded at Zurich. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.
