No compensation?

GDB2222

We were awake at 5am to catch a 10.00 flight, and found an email saying that the flight was cancelled because of ATC reasons, but we had been booked onto the next flight at 11.15. Flight is from London to a European destination.

Assuming that the 11.15 flight takes off roughly on time, I think we are not due any compensation. Could an expert kindly confirm please? 

I can’t say that we have been hugely inconvenienced, but obviously we would not turn down any compensation.

Just had another email:

Please be advised that your flight may be delayed today because of air traffic control restrictions…

That's the new flight. If that’s delayed, does the compensation clock start ticking from 11.15 or from the original 10.00? And does it matter anyway if the delay is caused by ATC?

Pretty sure ATC is unforeseen circumstances so you wont be entitled to a penny.  And certainly not for 75 minutes no matter what the reason.

Delays and cancellations caused by ATC are outside of the airline's control so no compensation will be due.

If the flight has been cancelled within 7 days of the flight, no compensation is due if you are rebooked to arrive between 60 minutes before and 120 minutes after your scheduled arrival time.
