EU261 - 'out of our control'
I had a flight cancelled recently due to bad weather reducing capacity at Heathrow. As this is outside BA's control then no compensation is due is what I thought. But when I think about it further c65% of BA's flights that day did fly, so it is clear that BA had a choice as to which flights to cancel - so the need for cancellation is out of their control, but the need for them to cancel a specific flight is clearly within their control.
Hs this point been tested with BA (or elsewhere) and what is the collective's view as to mertis (or otherwise) of this?
