With 416 km between Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Cork Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 250€ per person.

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.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

Modern platforms reduce the average timeline to a few weeks for over 90% of cases {like yours|such as Ryanair Liverpool→Cork}.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Ryanair's use of complex legal jargon is often a tactic to push travellers to abandon their 250€. Refusals are particularly common on short-haul routes, where amounts seem "small" to airlines.

The national CAA or its EU equivalents can be slow. A private legal action against Ryanair is often faster. For short-haul, the local small claims court is often competent.
