Flight compensation from SAS for flight cancellation due to airline strike?
On July 19, 2022, SAS management announced that they had reached an agreement with the pilots’ unions on a new collective bargaining agreement for the next 5 ½ years.
This marked the end of a 15-day strike among the company’s pilots.
Approximately 380,000 passengers were affected by around 3,700 SAS canceled flights during the period.
Today, many SAS passengers have received refunds on their airline tickets.
But passengers are ALSO entitled to flight compensation from SAS. The courts have ruled that the strike at SAS is not an exceptional circumstance.
How much can I get in flight compensation from SAS?
The compensation is a kind of compensation for the cancellation that SAS has to pay.
If you were affected by SAS canceling flights due to the strike in the summer of 2022, you should be aware that in addition to a refund of the ticket, you are entitled to either DKK 1,865 (250 Euro), DKK 2,985 (400 Euro) or DKK 4,500 (600 Euro) in compensation.
The deciding factor in how much flight compensation you are entitled to is the destination – the further you had to fly, the greater the compensation. For example, if you were traveling from Denmark to Crete, Mallorca or Malaga (or the opposite direction), you are entitled to DKK 2,985 (equivalent to EUR 400).
Your claim expires after 3 years!
Compensation claims are time-barred according to the general Danish statute of limitations.
This means that a case must be filed with the courts within 3 years after you received notification from SAS about the cancellation. However, since claims can also be forfeited due to inaction, it is our very clear recommendation that you raise your claim for compensation with SAS immediately to avoid losing your right to it.
