The impact of a strike on your SATA International compensation
The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by SATA International's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.
In every scenario, close examination of records will establish whether the conditions were genuinely exceptional. ATC strikes have a proportionally stronger impact on short routes.

During that interminable wait in the hall at Gran Canaria Airport, remember SATA International has a duty to look after you. This includes food, but also the ability to make two calls at no cost.
Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at Gran Canaria still applies. The hotel must be provided if SATA International delays your flight overnight.
