Operative part of the order Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91, must be interpreted as meaning that strike action which is entered into upon a call by a trade union of the cabin crew and pilots of an operating air carrier and which is intended to assert the demands of those workers does not come within the concept of ‘extraordinary circumstances’ within the meaning of that provision, any prior negotiations with the workers’ representatives being irrelevant in that regard.
