Pues por más que releo la EU REG 261 lo único que encuentro es esto:
The airline is also required to pay cash compensation as described below, unless one of the following conditions applies:
the airline notifies the passengers at least two weeks prior to departure
the airline notifies the passengers between one and two weeks prior to departure, and re-routes passengers so that they can:
depart no more than two hours earlier than scheduled, and
arrive no more than four hours later than scheduled
the airline notifies the passengers less than one week prior to departure, and re-routes passengers so that they can:
depart no more than one hour earlier than scheduled, and
arrive no more than two hours later than scheduled
the cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided by any reasonable measure
Ni la erupción ni el posterior cierre del espacio aéreo, eran evitables por las compañías por lo que no procede compensación alguna. Claro que siempre aparecerá un bobo con toga y afán de Robin Hood sentenciando que las compañías podían haber evitado la erupción poniéndole un corcho al volcán, y todos a pagar.
De qué sirve una ley tan clarita si luego un juez filosofante le da la vuelta y la aplica como le dá la gana?
No sólo tenemos una España que dá lástima, también Europa es patética.
