Are passengers owed compensation?
Yes, most likely. FR1475 departed an EU airport, so it's covered by EU261 whichever airline operated it. The only exception is if Ryanair can prove the disruption was caused by extraordinary circumstances outside its control.

|---|---|---|
| 1 passenger | €400 | €380 |
| 2 passengers | €800 | €760 |

What Ryanair might say
Airlines can refuse compensation for "extraordinary circumstances". Some reasons genuinely count, and many that airlines use don't:
Usually still owed
- Technical faults with the aircraft
- Crew shortages or sickness
- The airline's own staff striking
- Knock-on delays from an earlier flight
Can be a valid excuse
- Severe weather
- Air traffic control restrictions or strikes
- Security alerts or airport closures
- Bird strikes, if handled properly
The airline has to prove the cause. We check the reason Ryanair gives and challenge refusals that don't hold up.

Very likely, yes. FR1475 from Napoli to London was delayed by 4h 17m, which is the kind of disruption EU261 pays compensation for, unless Ryanair can prove it was caused by extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or an air traffic control restriction.

What if Ryanair says it was extraordinary circumstances?+
Airlines often say this, but technical faults, staff shortages, crew sickness, the airline's own staff striking and knock-on delays from earlier flights do not count. The airline has to prove the cause. We check the reason given and challenge refusals that don't hold up.
How long do I have to claim?+
Up to 6 years in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and 5 years in Scotland. There's no need to rush, but claims are easier while your booking details and messages from the airline are to hand.
Do I need my boarding pass to start?+
No. Your booking reference and the names of the passengers are enough to start. If anything else is needed later, such as a boarding pass or ID, we'll ask.
