Erstattungsunklarheit bei Wetterbedingter Stornierung – Rechtsunsicherheit für Reiseunternehmen
€2,000–€8,000 per 100 cancellations in refund disputes + chargebacks (3–5% refund rate); €40–80 per manual claim review (3–5 hours per case); 15–25% of disputed claims result in defensive settlements (€200–€500 per settlement). Annual impact for mid-sized operator (500+ weather-related cancellations/year): €50,000–€120,000.Weather-related transportation cancellations in Germany trigger refund obligations under EU Regulation 181/2011 and German BGB § 651h. However, 'severe weather conditions' (defined vaguely as 'major natural disasters') are exempt from carrier reimbursement obligations. This creates a gray zone where operators must determine causation, often manually. Tour operators report refusing free cancellations (Source 1) due to inflation of travel warnings and ambiguity. In practice: (1) Operators receive refund requests; (2) Manual assessment of weather severity occurs; (3) Disputes arise over causation; (4) Defensive compensation settlements pay out; (5) Chargebacks from credit card companies occur due to unclear refund policies. Each case requires 2–4 hours of manual investigation (weather records, booking analysis, regulatory review). Additionally, operators maintain dual refund policies ('Flex' vs. standard packages), creating customer confusion and follow-up requests.
