Imagine yourself at the airport, ready to board, and the announcement comes: an Iberia strike is disrupting your flight. This situation is not only frustrating but can also throw all your plans into disarray. At Indemniflight, we are here to guide you through all the necessary steps to obtain compensation in case of an issue with your journey.

Airline labor movements can seem complex. They generally fall into two distinct categories:

  • External strike: if it results from external circumstances, Iberia is required to compensate you. However, if the airline proves that the social movement was unforeseeable and beyond its control, it may be exempt from this obligation.
  • Internal social movement: when it is directly related to Iberia, such as being triggered by its own staff, Iberia is then obligated to compensate you without exception.

To know how to handle this situation, follow our tips and advice on Indemniflight.

The airline must respect your rights as a passenger

When you travel with Iberia and your flight is disrupted by a strike, you have rights defined by the Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and Council. Adopted on February 11, 2004, the regulation establishes clear standards for compensation and assistance for passengers facing denied boarding, flight cancellation, or significant delays.

This regulation applies in the following situations:

  • You depart from an EU member state with Iberia or another EU-based carrier.
  • You arrive in an EU member state from a non-EU country, with a flight operated by an EU carrier.
  • You travel with a European carrier and have not already received assistance or compensation for a previous flight.

Get compensation for an Iberia strike

When Iberia staff initiate a work stoppage, leading to delays or flight cancellations, the airline is required to compensate you if your journey was disrupted by an Iberia staff strike. This is also the case if your flight was delayed by 3 hours or more, or if it was canceled less than 14 days before departure.

To do so, you must have a confirmed flight booking. Additionally, if another flight was offered to you, the arrival time must differ significantly from the originally scheduled time to receive compensation. Finally, you are entitled to compensation if you were unjustly denied boarding.

Compensation amounts based on distance

Compensation amounts are calculated based on the distance traveled, as follows:

Distance traveled Compensation amount
Less than 1500 km 250 euros per passenger
Between 1,500 and 3,500 km 400 euros per passenger
More than 3,500 km 600 euros per passenger

These amounts represent the maximum compensation that may be granted in the event of a flight delay with Iberia, in accordance with the guidelines of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and Council.

Exceptions to compensation

Iberia may invoke “extraordinary circumstances” to refuse compensation, such as:

  • Traffic restrictions imposed by air traffic control or airport personnel.
  • Strike by ground handling agents.
  • Extreme weather conditions, political issues, or security risks.

Enforcing your rights can be complex in such cases. This is where Indemniflight steps in to help you receive the compensation you deserve.
