Flight cancelled on your Ryanair flight Trapani ✈ Cagliari? This happens to thousands every month. Fortunately: compensation is available.

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.

- Departure airport: Trapani / Birgi Airport (TPS)
- Arrival airport: Cagliari / Elmas Airport (CAG)
- Flight distance: 334 km (~0h25)

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation
When industrial action disrupts your journey to Cagliari / Elmas Airport, {the airline|Ryanair} will often try to refuse the claim. However, a strike by its employees no longer constitutes, according to case law, an exempting circumstance.
In all cases, careful analysis of flight logs will confirm whether the causes cited were truly extraordinary. ATC strikes have a proportionally stronger impact on short routes.
What are your rights at Trapani airport in case of prolonged wait?
Don't buy your food without first asking coupons from Ryanair. If you advance costs, save your invoices diligently.
If your replacement flight is only the next day, Ryanair must also cover your hotel night close to Trapani / Birgi Airport and the shuttle transfer between the airport and accommodation.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from Ryanair?
The registered letter and collecting evidence of the delay at Cagliari / Elmas Airport (delay certificate) are mandatory requirements to challenge {the airline|Ryanair}.
Partner legal platforms have technology to audit Ryanair's real data and disprove false weather excuses.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
On the TPS-CAG route, timelines can vary depending on the speed of Ryanair's claims team.
Modern platforms reduce the average timeline to a few weeks for over 90% of cases {like yours|such as Ryanair Trapani→Cagliari}.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Ryanair's use of technical language is often a strategy to encourage travellers to give up on their 250€. Refusals are particularly common on short-haul routes, where amounts seem "small" to airlines.
The Civil Aviation Authority or its European counterparts can be bureaucratic. A direct court claim against Ryanair is often more effective. For short-haul, the local small claims court is often competent.
