In England, travellers may be able to claim compensation if their flight is cancelled - regardless of the airline
A power cut at Manchester Airport threw many people's holiday plans into turmoil yesterday as multiple flights were unceremoniously called off.
Experts have now shared what passengers may be entitled to if their flight was cancelled or delayed due to the power failure on Sunday. - if the journey was leaving from the UK, the EU, Iceland, Norway or Switzerland. “However, in these specific circumstances, delays and cancellations caused by air traffic control restrictions are considered an ‘extraordinary circumstance’ and therefore do not qualify for compensation.
“If a travel operator needs to cancel a package holiday for any reason, they are required to notify you as soon as possible and without undue delay. This is to ensure that you have enough time to help you make alternative arrangements or seek refunds.
