Claim portals make it easier than ever to file for compensation under EU261. When a flight is delayed or cancelled, the whole cabin is affected and many passengers miss their connections. A single flight can trigger dozens, sometimes hundreds, of near-identical claims. For airlines this creates a costly dilemma: reviewing a small claim properly often costs more than paying it, while paying without review opens the door to duplicate payouts and abuse. And working out what actually happened on a flight has often meant querying customer service, booking and payment systems separately for every single case. - 01 Reviewing a claim often costs more than the claim - 02 Unreviewed payouts invite duplicates and abuse - 03 Flight facts rebuilt case by case from separate systems How JUNE runs it ## From intake to resolution, step by step 1. 01 ### The flight becomes the unit of work Every flight is identified by flight number, date and departure airport. As soon as a claim comes in, JUNE links it to the right flight, and every further claim joins the same flight cluster automatically. 2. 02 ### Decide once per flight One Handling Instruction per flight – for example “do not contest” – applies to every linked claim, including claims filed weeks later. Passenger-specific checks remain possible at any point. 3. 03 ### Defend in-house, with your panel firms Automation lets your team handle more first-instance proceedings internally. External firms work in secure Collab Spaces on the same data – without email chains. Key capabilities - Flight clusters - Handling Instructions - Structured flight view - Flight data from any source - Delays, cancellations and denied boarding - Panel firm collaboration ## JUNE for Airlines in five instructions Legal teams steer their strategy across flights, routes and legs instead of case by case. Five examples from day-to-day work: 1. 01 ### “Set flight XY123 on 3 March to ‘do not contest’.” One Handling Instruction is enough. Every claim already linked to the flight carries it, and so does every claim that arrives later. Whoever opens a case file sees right away which flight it belongs to and how the flight is being handled. 2. 02 ### “Air traffic control strike on Friday. Create all affected flights now.” Flights can be created before the first claim arrives. When the wave of claims comes in, every matching claim attaches to its flight automatically, and the strategy is already in place. 3. 03 ### “What actually happened on this flight?” Delays and delay codes, cancellations, passenger and boarding information, aircraft work orders and customer communications in one structured flight view. Whether a case can be defended becomes clear at a glance. 4. 04 ### “Contest all claims for the delayed rotation between Munich and Barcelona.” Handling Instructions can be set for several flights at once, so legal teams manage their strategy across flights, routes and legs. 5. 05 ### “Show me everyone who has filed for this flight.” Every claim linked to a flight appears in one list, with opposing party, court, case handler, status and claim amount.
