Fixed compensation
Do not assume it is automatically due. The cause, applicable passenger-rights regime and the airline's response all matter.

Jet2's travel information, updated at 03:00 BST on 24 September, warns passengers that the public-transport strike affects the C6 route to and from Alicante Airport. Jet2 says its own flights are planned to operate as usual.
Operational conditions can change quickly. Check the airline and airport for live status before travelling.
Compensation is only one part of your rights
Missing a flight because of surface-transport disruption is legally different from an airline cancelling or substantially delaying a flight. Passengers should not assume EU261 flight compensation applies to the transport strike itself.
Refund or rerouting
A cancellation can create travel-remedy rights even where an extraordinary circumstance prevents fixed compensation.
Care and expenses
Where the applicable rules provide a duty of care, reasonable meals, accommodation or transport can remain separate from compensation.
What to do now
Allow extra time to reach Alicante Airport, arrange alternative ground transport if necessary and continue checking the operating airline for any separate flight disruption.

AeroDue separates the cause, itinerary and operating airline so passengers do not confuse an airport-wide incident with an automatic compensation result.
