Check your actual arrival time at Rome. If United Feeder Service made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International 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.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Geneva Cointrin International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.
