The outcome of test case opens the door to 2.66 million Ryanair passengers to make air travel delay payment claims returning up to 6 years. Depending on the cover level and levels you have on this you might have been able to assert although you normally need to do this within one month of return back to the UK. You likewise need proof of the hold-up in writing from the airline along with the lost and postponed baggage reports. From the links that you have actually supplied, I am unclear whether I can declare payment for the delay on my return leg of our holiday which is outside the EU261 guideline.
A third aircraft was then dispatched however it too was postponed as a number of passengers decided to desert their trips and the off-loading then triggered added delay. When it comes to the, this type of hold-up though is not everyday and it is probably a grey area to be reasonable. legislation. I have actually also waded through the real EU legislation and can not see where this knock on hold-up is covered. However remember that the initial fault is plainly NOT covered for payment under the guidelines.
You need to call the airline company wii your information and tell them you are meaning to assert payment enabling them to find the details of your booking and look at the case. I had a delay of 6 hours from Barcelona to London, I decided to leave and take another air travel the following day, as the landing time was going to be difficult to deal with for me (~ 4 AM). Then I left, company did not paid me anything, in truth I’m only declaring the air travel not the accommodaiton.
This flight was cancelled and actual time of rescheduled departure was 18.05 hrs (local Indian time – 12.35 hrs GMT 04/02/2013) arriving at approx 23.59 hrs GMT 04/02/2013 arriving 17hrs 15 minutes later on after original scheduled time. We were informed the flight was delayed due to the landing lights not working and the back up system also failing’. After a number of hours of tannoy announcements stating the air travel was delayed we were then informed at approx 06.30 (local time) that the flight was cancelled. Unless you want these make it clear in your letter to them that you desire money as per EU261 guidelines and NOT vouchers.
You should therefore contact Emirates directly, make a problem and see what they provide as they are under no legal requirement ot pay any set amounts. Weather realted occurrences are not generally claimable nevertheless this is an uncommon case and you need to try Thomas Cook again as it might be argued that it is the airlines fault they did not have the right devices to run the aircraft. I made a claim versus Norwegian Airlines for a cancelled air travel from Oslo to Gatwick on 4th March 2012.
Under EC Regulation 261/2004, we contacted Emirates straight to submit a claim for a delayed flight on the Sixth August 2012. Air travel EK0018 was delayed departing Manchester, which meant we missed our connection in Dubai and were booked on flight EK707 departing Dubai on the 8th of August showing up into Mahe at 13.05 instead of 06.45 on the 7th of August. ( The delay to your air travel was reactionary to a technical problem happening prior to a previous air travel.
However Emirates suggest that the EC261/2004 regs only apply to the first leg of my trip, which would not be a payment event as the hold-up was below 3 hrs. However, my interpretation from reading your view on other cases is that compensation is payable for the delay flight delay compensation forum at the last destination, in my case Brisbane, which was 24 hrs. They reference the judgments from court cases Emirates Airlines – Diretion fuer Deutschland v Dieter Schenkel (C-173/ 07) and Sanghvi v Cathay Pacific Airways to underpin their argument that the regulation just uses to individual flights.
