Typowe scenariusze

Flight cancelled with less than 14 days' notice

Under retained EU Regulation 261/2004, a passenger whose flight from a UK airport is cancelled with less than 14 days' notice is entitled to compensation of €250–€600 depending on distance, unless the cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances (e.g., extreme weather, security risks). The airline must also offer re-routing or a refund.

Drone flown near an airport

Flying a drone within the flight restriction zone of an airport without permission is a criminal offence under the Air Navigation Order 2016. The maximum penalty is an unlimited fine and/or 5 years' imprisonment. The CAA and police have powers to seize drones and prosecute operators.
