Ryanair Flight Delays / Cancellation / Denied Boarding / Missed Connection Problems

Despite a large number of aircraft, Ryanair flights may be delayed causing deviation from their scheduled times. There may be congestion in air traffic which may lead to flight delays. Also, there are cases of flight cancellations and denied boarding due to flight overbooking, missing the connecting flight or flight route change.

Passengers travelling with Ryanair flights are entitled to compensation up to 600€ for the inconvenience caused to them due to flight delays, cancellations, or denied boarding incidents. Any passengers travelling with Ryanair can claim compensation for flights delays, cancellations, change in flight times, and missed flight connections.

Airlines can deny any compensation payment due to extraordinary bad weather. However, the situation might be very different if the harsh weather conditions at any particular airport are constant or to be expected, and other airlines are allowed to fly. Consistent “normal bad weather” at the airport is not considered an extraordinary situation that would justify the cancellation or delay of flights.

This is due to the fact that the airline has to take normal, and therefore foreseeable, weather conditions into account when scheduling flights, i.e. when deciding whether or not to allow aircraft to fly to and from certain airports. You can find a comprehensive overview of court decisions regarding bad weather in the ClaimFlights free case database.

Helpful Information about Ryanair Airlines

Ryanair is an Irish low-cost airline that started its operations in the year 1985 and became one of the recognised airlines in entire Europe and across the world. It holds the record of being the largest and busiest airline in its name.

Headquartered in Swords, Dublin, Ryanair has its primary bases at Dublin and London Stansted Airport. They first started flying people from Waterford (Southeast of Ireland) to London Gatwick on a 15-seater Embraer Bandeirante Aircraft.

In 1986, they obtained permission from the regulatory authorities to start services between Dublin-London routes at a cost far less than their rivals. With such rates, Ryanair soon became one of the biggest carriers in these two routes carrying 82,000 passengers in its first year of operations.

Ryanair carries millions of passengers to their desired destinations annually. In 1986, Ryanair gained control of 85% stake in London European Airways, after which they started providing services from Amsterdam to Brussels.

After the deregulation of the European Union in 1992, the airline obtained the right to operate scheduled services in all the European states giving a significant opportunity for the airline to flourish.

Ryanair owned Buzz from KLM in the year 2003, and by the end of that year, they were flying to 127 different routes. During the same time, the number of passengers grew to 21.4 million. Now, Ryanair has almost 33 countries connected, with 87 bases all around Europe, with 2,000 flights every day having a billion passengers travel with the airline yearly.
