Easyjet Strike Compensation: Know Your Rights

As air passengers, we are protected by a piece of EU law called EC 261. It holds airlines financially accountable for flight disruptions that they are responsible for. That includes flight disruptions due to airline staff strikes. So if your flight was canceled due to a strike, you may be eligible for compensation under the EC 261 regulations. The law regarding this particular situation was clarified only as recently as 2018. The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg ruled that disruption caused by airline employee strikes qualifies for compensation as the airline is considered responsible for the behavior of their own staff.

You can find out more about EC 261 and your air passenger rights here.


Eligibility for Easyjet Strike Compensation

When am I Eligible for Flight Strike Compensation from British Airways?

You are eligible for strike compensation if:

  • You had a flight disrupted by a British Airways staff strike.

  • Your flight was either delayed by 3 hours or more, or was canceled less than 14 days before it was due to depart.

  • You had a confirmed flight reservation.

  • The disruption occurred within the last 3 years.

  • If you took a replacement flight, your new arrival time was significantly different to your original flight.

Airline staff strikes are strikes involving the employees of British Airways. That includes pilots, cabin crew, airline engineers, and other employees working directly for British Airways. If you book a flight which is disrupted because of a staff strike, British Airways may owe you compensation to make up for the trouble caused.

We believe that air passenger rights should always come first – if an airline strike with British Airways causes or caused your flight to be delayed, canceled, or even result in a denied boarding, you can make a claim for compensation.

When am I Not Eligible for Strike Compensation from British Airways?

You are not eligible for strike compensation if the strike is one that British Airways has no control over. For example:

  • Strikes by airport security staff

  • Strikes by baggage handlers

  • Strikes by air traffic management staff

  • Strikes caused by political unrest

While British Airways staff strikes are within the control of British Airways, all other strikes are considered to be “extraordinary circumstances”. Extraordinary circumstances are any events or situations that are completely beyond the airline’s control and cannot be avoided, even if reasonable measures have been taken to protect against them. In such cases, British Airways is not at fault.

Easyjet Strike Flight Cancellation Compensation

Important Passenger Rights During a Easyjet Strike

You Have the Right to Care

When you experience flight disruption due to an airline strike, you have the “right to care”. Depending on the length of the delay, Easyjet must provide you with several essentials, including:

  • Meals and refreshments.

  • Access to communications, including two telephone calls, fax messages, or emails.

  • Overnight accommodation, including transportation to and from the airport to your hotel, if necessary.

Rebooking and Refunds

If your flight has been canceled or delayed for more than five hours, you have the right to withdraw from your flight and receive a complete refund.

If your flight was canceled, you also have the choice of taking an alternative flight, organized by Easyjet, to get you to your destination. You can learn more about rebooking and refunds here.
