Reason for Flight Delay

There are so many reasons for which flight gets delayed and many of them are covered under the EU guidelines and some are not. If the delay happens because of the airline, then you are eligible for flight delay compensation and if delay happens because of ‘extraordinary circumstances’, you are not eligible for flight delay compensation.
