Yes PR wise, bad move. Legally though it's a sound move



Incorrect . Duty of care ALWAYS applies under EC261. The stated exclusions are in regard to compensation. However I dont think EC261 applies here. The flight is still operating , the airline isnt refusing carriage, the government is the preventing you from even getting to airport.



Legally you are the one on the hook to pay hotel if government doesn't. Absent a law saying the government assumes the liability, the liability is yours. I don't agree with government not paying, but that is a governmental decision.
