         Question referred
      
      
                  1.
               
               
                  Does a trade union organised strike by an operating air carrier’s own staff constitute an ‘extraordinary circumstance’ within the meaning of Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004? (1)
                  
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  Is it relevant whether the strike in question is proceeding on the basis of demands by the staff that have not thus far been contractually agreed by the staff and the operating air carrier?
               
            
                  3.
               
               
                  Is it relevant whether the specific strike was triggered by certain conduct of the operating air carrier during the negotiations with the trade union?
                  By order of the President of the Court of Justice of 7 August 2020, the case was removed from the register of the Court.
