Most Common Reason for Compensation:
Operational Delays

While many passengers assume that weather is the top cause of delays, statistics say otherwise. The leading reason for flight disruptions eligible for compensation is actually operational issues on the airline’s side—such as crew shortages, technical failures, or turnaround problems.


According to EU law, if the delay is caused by something within the airline’s control, the carrier is required to pay compensation. This includes delays over 3 hours at arrival, even if the departure was on time.


SkySupportDesk analyzes each case carefully to determine if your delay is claim-worthy. Even if the airline blames a vague “technical issue,” we investigate further using flight data and legal expertise. If we discover they’re liable, we pursue your compensation aggressively.
