During strikes in the airline sector – recalls the specialized company RefundAlVolo, ready to provide assistance to passengers who will suffer delays and cancellations due to the protests called by the unions – the guarantee periods must be respected, from 7 to 10 am and from 6 to 9 pm, in which flights must still be carried out.
“It is good to remember – underlines RimborsoAlVolo – that Even in the event of a strike, passengers’ rights must be fully guaranteed. In particular, EC Regulation 261/2004 establishes that in all cases in which a flight is canceled without at least 14 days’ notice or suffers a prolonged delay, the airline has the obligation to guarantee assistance to passengers (meals, drinks, hotel accommodation, transfers from the airport to the hotel, etc.). If assistance is not provided and the passenger has had to pay for meals, drinks, taxis or hotels, the airline must reimburse the expenses incurred, as long as they are reasonable and appropriate: for this purpose it is best to keep all receipts certifying these expenses. In the event that a flight is cancelled, the airline must offer the choice between: a refund of the ticket and, in the case of a connecting flight, a return flight to the departure airport as soon as possible; boarding another flight to your final destination as soon as possible, or boarding another flight at a later date”.
