I think some commenting on this thread are struggling to separate legal arguments which do exist on both sides here, with personal opinion on whether BA should be paying compensation for late cancellations due to their own operational issues. On a very fundamental level none of what we are seeing now would have been happening had it not been for covid, that is not to say that cancellations are necessarily due to extraordinary circumstances and which BA could have avoided despite all reasonable measures.

And I say all this as someone who has a claim in atm which was initially refused, and which I have just replied to as I want my money!
