Compensation also covers denied boarding. If TAP Portugal oversold the flight and you couldn't board at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, the 400€ payout is owed by right.

The impact of a strike on your TAP Portugal compensation

When a strike impacts your route to Lisbon Portela Airport, {the airline|TAP Portugal} will likely attempt to dodge liability. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in most cases, valid grounds for refusal.

Question TAP Portugal's justification. Some carriers falsely present internal strikes as "extraordinary circumstances" to escape {paying compensation|the 400€}.

What are your rights at Stockholm airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to care is a crucial provision of the EU text. Regardless of the 400€ question, if the delay drags on at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, TAP Portugal is obliged to provide coupons for food and drink.
