Significant disruptions have impacted air travel across Europe, affecting major carriers such as Air France, British Airways, KLM, Brussels Airlines, and additional airlines. Over 728 flights were delayed and 31 cancellations occurred, leaving large numbers of passengers stranded. The disruptions were widespread, with effects seen in France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, and other countries.

Major airports in key cities—Paris, London, Amsterdam, and Brussels—experienced operational challenges, causing substantial delays and cancellations of scheduled flights. Airlines operating out of these airports had to manage a surge in affected customers as flight operations were heavily impacted.

While the exact cause of these disruptions was not specified, the event has had considerable consequences on flight schedules, passenger itineraries, and airport operations. Stranded travellers in the affected cities have faced difficulties arranging alternative transportation, rebooking flights, and accessing assistance.

The situation underscores the vulnerability of large-scale air travel networks to sudden operational issues that can rapidly cascade and cause international ripple effects. Airlines and airports have been working to resume normal operations and offer support to displaced passengers.

Know your rights

When your flight's disrupted, you have rights. Most passenger protection laws cover the following:

Rerouting or refund
If your flight is canceled, your airline must provide an alternative. Some laws say you can choose a full refund instead.

Food and essential care
Providing food and drinks is a basic right under many regulations. Typically after a delay of a few hours.

Accommodation
Some passenger rights say the airline must provide accommodation when your journey is delayed overnight.

Compensation
Good passenger rights ensure passengers get fairly compensated for delays and cancellations. Try our compensation check and find out how much money we can get you.

This advice is provided to help you if your flight is delayed or canceled. However, the exact care and compensation you are entitled to will depend on your specific circumstances and flight.
Always follow the directions of your airline, particularly with regard to times you must present yourself for check-in and boarding.
