Due to the recent case of Van der Lans v. KLM decided by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) flight compensation claims are far more likely to be accepted, even if airlines state the fault was due to “extraordinary circumstances”. In this particular case, the passenger was delayed by 29 hours in 2009. Dutch airline, KLM, rejected the claim for compensation, arguing that it should not be liable for a spontaneous technical issue which emerged just before take-off. The airline argued that this falls into the category of an “extraordinary circumstance” – for which the airline would not have to pay compensation.

The European Court of Justice ruled in favour of the passenger stating that a technical problem could not be classed as an extraordinary circumstance.

Research by the consumer group, Which? recently revealed that 9,000 flights are delayed for three hours or more each year by this type of fault.

Michael Jefferies, managing director at Jefferies Solicitors, said, “We’re pleased to be extending our legal offering to cover flight claims, which is a growing sector due to changes in the law. The service will help those who have been inconvenienced due to a flight being delayed or cancelled and is a much more successful approach than sending a letter to the airline directly. Our specialist team offers complete transparency with no hidden fees, making sure clients are kept fully informed during the process.”
