Yes it does cover extraordinary events
The only thing that is exempted in extraordinary situations is the requirement to pay delay/cancellation compensation

When the flight he is booked on is actually cancelled due to airport issue, then the airline will be liable to get him to the alternative airport. At the monent, from what I read in OP, the flight has not yet been cancelled
Even so, it seems to make much more sense to me to rebook whilst there is availability and be sure of getting to destination rather than holding out and potentially being significantly impacted
