    Unfortunately, probably not. ATC strikes are one of the few true ECs.
    You could put your flight details into a checker, such as Botts, to see if you have a valid claim.

    There is no EU261 compensation for ATC strikes as this is not within the control of the airline.
    Did your travel agent not ask BA to move you to a MRS flight rather than purchase a new ticket for the alternate flight?

    They tried but there was no flight on the same day and like I mentioned before I had to return on the same day so had no choice but to buy a ticket from another airport.
