Extraordinary circumstances: Meaning for Flight Refunds and Claims

Events that may exempt an airline from fixed compensation under a particular rule if the legal test is met. They do not automatically erase every other duty.

Why it matters

Ask the airline what happened and what reasonable measures it took. The label alone doesn’t settle an exemption.

Where to go next

Compare the applicable rule with your ticket and the airline’s written notice. You can also browse other flight-claim terms.
