Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from London, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air compensation

Don't be misled by Wizz Air's vague terms: a "spontaneous" or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. Regardless of distance, the principle remains identical for strikes.

A strike by ATC services at London Luton Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which Wizz Air has no control.
