Our Story

We know exactly how you feel — because it happened to us first.

"

In 2019, our founder sat in a gate that never opened. Four hours late. Missed a connection. No explanation from the carrier — just a €15 meal voucher and a vague reference to "operational reasons."

A quick search revealed he was almost certainly owed €600 under EU law. But the airline made the process so deliberately difficult, wrapped in legal jargon and endless waiting periods, that 90% of eligible passengers on that flight simply gave up.

SkyVolo exists so that doesn't happen anymore. We turned a frustrating passenger experience into a legal technology engine that holds airlines accountable.

ECJ Case Precedents

Airlines often reject claims citing "extraordinary circumstances." Our legal team leverages established European Court of Justice (ECJ) precedents to challenge and overturn these rejections.

Sturgeon v Condor (C-402/07)

Established that delayed flights can qualify for the same compensation as cancellations.

Wallentin-Hermann v Alitalia (C-549/07)

Ruled that technical faults from routine maintenance are NOT extraordinary circumstances.

Pešková v Travel Service (C-315/15)

Clarified that while bird strikes are extraordinary, damage from prior strikes may not be.
