Verspätungen und Stornierungen am Flughafen Frankfurt — kann die Fluggesellschaft meinen Anspruch ablehnen? 

Leider gibt es Situationen, in denen die Fluggesellschaft Sie nicht für Ihren verspäteten oder gestrichenen Flug entschädigen kann. Wenn eine Verspätung oder Stornierung durch einen Dritten oder ein unvorhersehbares Ereignis verursacht wird, das nicht im Einflussbereich der Fluggesellschaft liegt, wird dies als außergewöhnliche Umstände bezeichnet.

Beispiele für einige dieser Umstände sind:

• Schlechte Wetterverhältnisse, wie dichter Nebel, Starkregen oder Gewitter.

• Streiks, häufig in der Luftfahrtindustrie.

  Doch aufgepasst: Ein Streik der jeweiligen Flug­gesellschaft bzw. ihrer Kabinen­beschäftigten fällt NICHT unter höhere Gewalt!

• Politische Umstände, wie ein Terrorangriff oder ein generelles Sicherheitsrisiko aufgrund politischer Unruhen.

• Naturkatastrophen, wie Vulkanausbrüche oder Tornados.

• Die Kollision eines Flugzeugs mit Vögeln oder anderen Fremdkörpern.

• Ein Fluggastr, der an Bord erkrankt oder sich den Anweisungen des Kabinen­personals widersetzt.

• Flugverspätungen, die durch das Flughafen­personal verursacht werden, wie außergewöhnlich lange Warte­schlangen an den Sicherheitskontrollen.
