easyjet non-ex cancellation list

New EU regulations mean that when a flight is cancelled for ‘non-extraordinary’ reasons, that is, reasons that are within the power of the airline to prevent, then each passenger is entitled to compensation.

Easyjet does not advertise when it classifies a cancellation as ‘non-extraordinary’. Even if someone contacts easyjet to request a refund or a free transfer for a cancelled flight they will not be told if they are entitled to claim EUC compensation unless they specifically ask for it.

The following file is a list of all the non-extraordinary cancellations since the beginning of the year as classified by easyjet.

Each passenger on each of these flights can claim 250 Euros per person from easyjet. In the case of long distance flights then number can go up to 400 or even 600 Euro’s.

Easyjet will also go the great lengths to avoid classifying a cancellation as non-extraordinary. Usually they will claim that a delay or cancellation is the result of a ‘knock-on’ effect. This means that an event separate in distance or time, like weather or an air traffic control delay can be given as the cause of the cancellation.

As easyjet runs with minimal crews, these ‘knock-on effects’ can be very wider ranging, across countries and across days.

It is not clear what oversight there is in the classification of these events or how this classification is regulated.
