However, in accordance with EU regulation 261/2004, compensation is not payable.Article 5 in EU regulation 261/2004 provides that “an operating air carrier shall not be obliged to pay compensation in accordance with Article 7, if it can prove that the cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken". "All measures" has not been interpreted to mean an airline must do everything in its power to avoid delay, only what is reasonable.In the preamble to the regulation, a strike is specifically pointed out as an extraordinary circumstance and SAS took all reasonable measures in order to avoid the cancellations and delays. Already the 18th of April, 7 days before the strike was a fact, we started to offer worried passengers an option to voluntary rebook their tickets in order to get to their destinations in time. Also, SAS secured that 30 % of the planned flights still could operate according to schedule. Since SAS took all reasonable measures in order to avoid the cancellations and delays, I am sorry to say that we can't meet your request of compensation.Klicka för att utvidga...
