An airline can turn down your claim for compensation if the delay or cancellation was due to extraordinary circumstances.
An extraordinary circumstance is something which is outside the control of the airline and something which is not their fault. Eg. Extreme weather conditions, political unrest, employee strikes.
Delays and cancellations caused by technical problems, influenced by other flights and problems at the airport should all be subject to cancellation.
