Turin,

thanks for the reply.

Can you tell me if this would be deemed extraordinary?.........

I'm referring to the piece of text with regards to EU rights on delays/cancelations:

"Can an airline always rely on "technical difficulties" to justify a cancellation and refuse to pay compensation

The Court of Justice of the EU ruled on this issue in December 2008 in the case of Wallentin Herman v Alitalia where it was held that airlines may only refuse to pay compensation when a flight is cancelled due to technical problems if the problem stems from events which by their nature or origin are not inherent in the normal exercise of activity of the air carrier concerned and are beyond it's actual control"


thanks again,
Neil
