AviationADR.org.uk - Not updating my case.
Hi, Is it usual for AviationADR to be slow in actioning cases? I had a delayed flight with Wizzair in July. I complained direct to the airline claiming compensation under the EU directive and got a standard response rejecting the claim saying that it was due to commercially sensitive issues beyond their control.
