Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The impact of a strike on your Scandinavian Airlines System compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, 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.
