Ryanair Confident of Defending Passenger Compensation Claim
Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline, today (4th Nov) said it was disappointed that it will have to wait until February to defend itself against claims of ‘compensation infringements’ in Sweden after a case was deferred due to problems with an interpreter.
Ryanair believes that it will win the case, which is almost identical to a recent German case which dismissed a passenger’s compensation claim after Ryanair was forced to cancel a flight due to unsafe weather conditions.
Ryanair, who have been repeatedly wrongly blacklisted in Sweden in relation to similar cases, highlighted that the German court’s decision clearly establishes that airlines cannot be held responsible for passenger delays and cancellations which are caused by bad weather.
The German court found that bad weather prevented Ryanair from landing safely and represented extraordinary circumstances which were beyond the control of the airline under EU261 regulations and Ryanair is confident that the same conclusion will be reached in Sweden.
