Your entitlement depends on verifiable facts. Air traffic logs will confirm the exact time of door opening at Girona Airport.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation
When a strike impacts your route to Girona Airport, {the airline|Ryanair} will likely attempt to dodge liability. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in most cases, valid grounds for refusal.
However, if ground handlers at Billund Airport or screening personnel take action, this constitutes an extraordinary circumstance. In this scenario, the 400€ are not owed.
What are your rights at Billund airport in case of prolonged wait?

Modern platforms reduce the average timeline to a few weeks for over 90% of cases {like yours|such as Ryanair Billund→Gerona}.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
