Not impartial at all!

I wouldn't even bother trying to take your case through this corrupt organisation!

Ryanair chose to charge me additional money for oversized baggage. The bag was well within allowance and dimensions were sent of the bag including images of the bag with a tape measure showing the exact dimensions.

Allegedly that doesn't matter to the Aviation ADR and instead they chose to uphold Ryanair's decision to charge me the additional £75 fee!

Ryanair's allowance is 55cm x 40cm x 20cm. My bag fit in the hole, and was 50cm x 30cm x 20cm so not even close to the maximum size!

Corrupt organisation, don't waste your time, we now know why Ryanair request you resolve disputes through these con artists!

Just in response to the comment below, Ryanair didn't even provide a response let alone any evidence! They even asked for an extension to provide evidence and failed to, just for your additional information and more proof of the lack of impartiality!

Do not use this service!!

Do not use this service. They are far away from independent. I submitted all evidence for my family (4 passengers) and they awarded the minimum just for myself without even calculating the hrs of the delay correctly.

At least offers a chance to get some of your money back

I was gratified to find that this arbitration process existed after my nightmare trying to deal with Ryanair to resolve a dispute that arose from their mistake and non acceptance of it. The arbitration process was a bit laborious and I found that my patience wore thin throughout each stage, but after 4 months of submitting information and waiting, waiting and more waiting I was at least successful in getting half of our money back. I still feel aggrieved that my claim was not thoroughly reviewed by their ‘highly skilled and experienced’ adjudicator who had clearly not fully read or understood what I was trying to reclaim costs for, but at least this service does offer some hope to anyone experiencing bad treatment from an Airline. I would also warn anyone reading this review to be very careful in any dealings you have with Ryanair as they blatantly ignored their mistake and dragged their heels throughout the appeal process.

We’re sorry to hear that you found parts of the process lengthy and that you felt your claim wasn’t fully understood. We appreciate how important it is for customers to feel their case has been carefully reviewed, and your feedback is valuable in helping us improve both our processes and communication.

ADR can sometimes take time due to the need to gather and assess evidence thoroughly, but we understand how the waiting can feel.

Excellent service

So grateful to Aviation ADR for their swift resolution to our compensation claim. We were totally dismissed by Easy Jet and would not have received a penny. By putting our trust in the dispute resolution process we received exactly what we knew we were entitled too.

simple forms and easy to use. I didn't even know about this service until I used chat gpt. A service that every airport needs to advertise to use for customers that have had a problem with airlines. This is true 'power to the people' stuff. Thank you for your service.

Very grateful to the Aviation ADR

The Aviation ADR is brilliant! We would never have managed to get compensation from AirFrance without it. After raising the initial claim with Air France and complete denial that they owed us compensation, I quickly raised the case on the ADR's website. It took about 3.5 months from start to finish which isn't bad compared to nothing at all without the ADR's help.

Their website has definitely improved - we asked for their help a few years back as well and it wasn't quite as straight forward so you can tell they put some thoughts into improving the customer experience.
It's now really easy to add all the receipts and proofs to support the claim and some of the info are automatically filled in when you add the flights numbers and so on, is quite well structured and we got notifications each time an update was added onto the case portal which was great.

In a perfect world we shouldn't have to need to ADR at all and the airline should fulfill their obligations towards their customers.
But we are not in a perfect world, and the ADR got us the compensation we were owed that the airline pretended we were not entitled to. We are very grateful for their help.
