The short answer

Was W43352 delayed long enough for EU 261 compensation?

Wizz Air flight W43352 from Brussels South Charleroi to Cluj-Napoca arrived 4h 7m late on September 19, 2026. That is past the three-hour mark in EU Regulation 261/2004. The route is 1,467 km. The statutory amount for this distance is €250 per passenger when the airline is responsible.

What else happened that day

Night-time air traffic control strike at Charleroi

Skeyes controllers at Brussels South Charleroi stopped work every night from 22:00 to 08:00 between 16 and 23 September. Aircraft that could not land in the evening were missing for the next morning’s first departures, so cancellations hit both late arrivals and early departures.

Usually an extraordinary circumstance, so no EU 261 cash compensation. Airlines still owe meals, a hotel if you are stuck overnight, and the choice of a refund or a new flight. The airline still has to prove that this event caused the disruption to W43352. A technical fault, a crew shortage or a strike by the airline’s own staff on the same day is not an extraordinary circumstance, and still pays out.
