What Airlines Use as an Excuse
You Can Still Claim
- Technical fault. Aircraft mechanical issues are the airline's responsibility, not extraordinary.
- Staff shortage. Crew rostering failures and strikes by airline staff are not extraordinary.
- Overbooking. Selling more seats than available is a commercial decision — airlines cannot use it as an excuse.
- Late incoming aircraft. If the previous leg was also delayed, the cause still matters — if it was technical, you can still claim.
Genuine Exemptions
- Severe weather. Storms, fog, or ice that ground aircraft across an entire airport — not just inconvenient rain.
- Air traffic control strikes. ATC industrial action is outside the airline's control and typically exempts them.
- Airport security breach. Events like a runway incursion or terminal evacuation count as extraordinary.
- Political instability. Sudden airport closures due to civil unrest or government order at the destination.
