Our lawyers Dagmara Klimek and Filip Gosztyła from our Warsaw office and Aviation Sector Group provided expert commentary for PolskaSky website on the recent judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case T-134/25.
The article discusses key aspects of the ruling, including the qualification of air traffic control (ATC) decisions as extraordinary circumstances and the requirement for a case-by-case assessment. It also highlights the importance of establishing a direct causal link within aircraft rotation and the possibility of distinguishing between different causes of delay when assessing liability.
This judgment may have significant implications for both airlines and passengers, particularly in the context of litigation strategy and evidentiary standards.
