Understanding exceptions
Consider a canceled flight due to sudden travel restrictions imposed by an emerging pandemic. In this context, despite the major inconvenience, airlines may not be held liable for compensation, reflecting the impact of unforeseen global circumstances on their flight schedules.
Also, the legislation regarding flight cancellations establishes a compensation mechanism that is activated only when passengers are informed of the cancellation within a specific interval, less than two weeks before the scheduled departure date. This legal measure is designed to balance the interests of consumers with the operational flexibility of air carriers.
For faster resolution of the case
The cancellation of a flight is only the beginning of an often complex journey for affected passengers. Claiming compensation from Air Greenland yourself involves navigating through a maze of airline regulations, submitting detailed claim files, and maintaining sometimes endless discussions with the airline, all with no guarantee of success. This process can be not only time-consuming but also emotionally taxing, leaving many travelers discouraged and, in some cases, without any compensation.
This is where an alternative is increasingly appealing to passengers: the use of third-party services to manage compensation claims. These companies offer valuable expertise, simplifying and taking care of the claims process from A to Z. Their in-depth knowledge of passenger rights, combined with solid experience in negotiating with airlines, results in a significant increase in chances to obtain compensation. By opting for this solution, travelers can not only preserve their peace of mind, but also benefit from a professional approach that maximizes their chances of financial compensation.
