Wallentin-Hermann v Alitalia—Linee Aeree Italiane SpA (Case C-549/07); WLR (D) 3

“A technical problem such as an engine defect that came to light during a routine check on an aircraft and resulted in cancellation of a flight did not normally justify the carrier in refusing to pay compensation to passengers on the ground that the flight had been cancelled owing to ‘extraordinary circumstances’.”
