Why 89 Passengers Were Left Behind in Lanzarote — a Reality Check for Mallorca Travelers

Answer

Can passengers who are left behind at the airport in Mallorca claim compensation?

Possibly, but it depends on the reason for the disruption and how the airline classifies it. EU Regulation 261/2004 can apply in cases of denied boarding and long delays, but claims often depend on the exact facts and the airline’s responsibility. Passengers should keep all receipts and ask the airline for a written explanation.
