No. The airline must show that the weather actually affected your flight and that it took all reasonable measures. Eurocontrol logs weather delay at Ancona Falconara on specific days; if your day is not one of them, the weather defence has nothing behind it. If it is, the airline still has to connect it to your flight.

Enter the flight number and date in the checker above. It pulls the recorded arrival time, works out the delay against the schedule, and shows what Eurocontrol and the airport weather logged for Ancona Falconara that day.

Which airlines' passengers can claim after a Ancona Falconara delay?

Any airline departing Ancona Falconara is covered by EU261 regardless of nationality. Arrivals are covered when the airline is a UK or EU carrier.
