Reimbursement & care

Cash compensation is compared to the original Toronto arrival — not the first hop, and not “how late the airport was.”

This routing is not clearly under EU261 / UK261.

AC897 ATH→YYZ was +0 min. That hop is too short of a delay for its own UK261 cash claim (needs 3h). The money claim is on the late arrival at Toronto versus the original ticket.

Who caused it?

This decides cash vs “only meals/hotel.” Tonight’s message was a technical issue on the aircraft — that is usually the airline, not the airport.

Airline problem

Technical defects, engineering, crew, and most “we’re going back to the gate” issues are not extraordinary circumstances (EU court). If you land 3h+ late vs original: typically €600 cash each.

Airport / weather

ATC, runway closure, storms, third-party strikes: usually no cash, but they still owe meals, comms, and a hotel if you are stuck overnight. Keep asking for vouchers.

Extra expenses (receipts)

Separate from the €600. Reasonable meals, hotel, or trains you had to buy because of the disruption.

    KLM “Make a request” form

    Not legal advice and not a claims company. KLM decides first. If they refuse a technical-defect delay, the Dutch ACM is the enforcement body. Prefer cash over a voucher unless the voucher is clearly more valuable to you.
