Snow causes flight disruptions Frankfurt

In January, air traffic was also disrupted because of an ice storm. Additionally, several strikes were causing delays and cancellations in 2013.

Unfortunately passengers are not entitled to financial compensation in this situation. Snow is seen as an extraordinary circumstance. An airline could not prevent a delay that is due to bad weather conditions. Passengers do have the right to care and assistance. For example, food, refreshments, hotel accommodation et cetera have to be paid for by the airline.
