Judgment of 4 May 2017

22Thus, the Court has deduced therefrom that events may be classified as extraordinary circumstances, within the meaning of Article 5(3) of Regulation No 261/2004, if, by their nature or origin, they are not inherent in the normal exercise of the activity of the air carrier concerned and are outside that carrier’s actual control (see, to that effect, judgment of 22 December 2008, Wallentin-Hermann, C‑549/07, EU:C:2008:771, paragraph 23; of 31 January 2013, McDonagh, C‑12/11, EU:C:2013:43, paragraph 29; and of 17 September 2015, van der Lans, C‑257/14, EU:C:2015:618, paragraph 36).
