Monarch delays & Compensations. Listed flights denied in O.P.

Man - TFS Flight delay compensation rejected due to...

Our records show that the aircraft scheduled to operate your flight was discovered to be suffering with a technical fault whereby the flight deck’s oxygen repeatedly depleted. Aircraft are not permitted to operate without flight deck crew having a sufficient and functional oxygen supply and therefore the aircraft was declared unserviceable requiring an oxygen bottle change.
Following your flight the original oxygen bottle was returned to the manufacturer for analysis and it was identified that the depletion was caused by an internal leak. This is clearly a hidden manufacturing defect and completely beyond our control.

Completely beyond their control or worth a fight?

In a word fight. But they should roll over easy.... This is a technical issue.

Hi,

My claim was refused as below:

Our records show that the aircraft scheduled to operate your flight was discovered to have sustained damage prior to departure of a previous flight sector. In particular, during the walk-around inspection of the aircraft the flight crew reported a screw was embedded in the Number 3 wheel of the aircraft. It was essential that the screw was removed from the Wheel and the Foreign Object Debris (“FOD”) was inspected. A locally contracted engineer investigated and confirmed that the wheel required replacement due to the FOD. We can confirm that damage caused by FOD can occur at any time and cannot be predicted or avoided and therefore the main wheel damage was completely beyond our control.

Having considered the factual background of this case in accordance with the published guidelines and applicable case law, we are satisfied that the disruption was caused by an extraordinary circumstance that could not have reasonably been prevented by Monarch Airlines. We are, therefore, unable to accept your claim for compensation for the reasons given.

I believe this reply is purposefully confusing especially when referring to "damage prior to departure of a previous flight sector". I am not sure whether my claim fits in the extraordinary circumstances bracket or not, I don't have time to waste so would rather get a bit of advice as to whether I should pursue or not please? Anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks!

I have one idea, it's a load of rubbish!!!

It's inherent in the airlines normal operation that tyres become damaged, don't let them fob you off issue the NBA.

Follow Vaubans excellent guide.

My latest response from says " Our records show that the aircraft scheduled to operate your flight was discovered to have sustained damage prior to departure of a previous flight sector.

Did you read the post two above yours?

After being told we were being paid I have received a response saying "Our records show that the aircraft scheduled to operate your flight was discovered to have sustained damage prior to departure of a previous flight sector.
