Easyjet Strike Compensation

Updated on 11.08.2022

_In August many flights operated by Easyjet will be cancelled due to staff or pilot strikes. We want to remind you that flight cancellations due to these staff strikes are eligible for compensation if you were informed by Easyjet less than 14 days before your flight.

If you’ve been affected by an Easyjet strike, then you’ve come to the right place. You may be entitled to up to $650 in compensation if you experienced delays or cancellations due to an airline strike. We can help you make a claim under EU law.

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 Easyjet?

You are eligible for strike compensation if:

  • You had a flight disrupted by an Easyjet 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 Easyjet. That includes pilots, cabin crew, airline engineers, and other employees working directly for Easyjet. If you book a flight which is disrupted because of a staff strike, Easyjet 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 Easyjet 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 Easyjet?

You are not eligible for strike compensation if the strike is one that Easyjet 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 Easyjet staff strikes are within the control of Easyjet, 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, Easyjet is not at fault.

  • 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.
