I want to contest this via MCOL as P&O are refusing compensation. I would be appreciative of people's opinions if they feel this is worth contesting.

Thanks,

Air traffic restrictions can still be a valid reason even if other flights arrived and departed, it could be they needed to cut capacity and your flight was one of the unlucky ones.
