By taking off from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 958 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Bratislava, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Brussels South Charleroi Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.
