Comment: Unsubstantiated puffery was added recently. The lead section is to summarize the body text, not to display company mission statements. The "compensation they deserve" is meaningless marketing fluff. Legal successes cannot be described as "remarkable" in Wikipedia's voice. Clean it up or revert back to an earlier version before resubmitting. ~Anachronist (talk) 14:47, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Skycop is a company that primarily aims to advocate for passengers' rights and assist them in claiming compensation for various flight-related issues.
About
Skycop operates within the framework of European Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, which establishes the rights of air passengers and the obligations of airlines in the event of flight delays, cancellations, or overbooking. This regulation serves as the legal basis for their advocacy on behalf of passengers.
Founded by Jurgis Petrošius, in 2017 and currently run by Tomas Vaišvila, the company has been involved in various legal battles against airline companies in accordance with European Union regulations.
Objectives
Skycop helps passengers in filing compensation claims when they have been affected by flight inconvenience. They lead the legal procedures to help passengers in seeking the compensation they deserve.
They also provide assistance to passengers in claiming repayment for extra expenses they face as a result of these disruptions. This includes expenses such as accommodation, meals, and transportation, which passengers may have had to cover due to unexpected flight changes.
Legal Battles with Airline Companies
Skycop claims to be engaged in a €3 billion battle against airlines[2] that have victimized passengers.
One notable legal battle involving Skycop was its successful campaign against Ryanair[3]. Their advocacy on behalf of affected passengers led to a victory in Lithuania, where passengers were rightfully compensated for flight disruptions.
Skycop has also been involved in highlighting issues with Vueling Airlines. They have claimed that Vueling owes a substantial sum of €224 million in compensation to passengers affected by various flight troubles[4].
Skycop played a significant role in securing compensation for passengers who faced problems due to flight disruptions with AirBaltic. Their efforts resulted in an agreement by the airline to pay back affected passengers[5].
How Skycop Leads Legal Battles
Once eligible passengers are identified, Skycop collects the necessary information and documents related to the flight disruption. This generally includes details of the flight, such as the flight number, departure and arrival times, and the reason for the disruption.
Skycop's team assesses each case to determine its legal merit. They review the circumstances of the flight disruption and ensure that it falls within the scope of the European regulations.
The company then proceeds to submit the compensation claim on behalf of the affected passenger. They prepare and send a formal claim letter to the airline responsible for the disruption.
Their first approach is negotiation with the airline to guarantee compensation for the affected passenger. This generally includes discussions with the airline's representatives or legal teams to reach a fair resolution.
In cases where airlines do not cooperate or refuse to provide compensation, Skycop is prepared to take legal action on behalf of the passenger. This may involve filing a lawsuit or pursuing other legal ways to ensure that passenger rights are upheld.
When a favorable resolution is reached, the company makes sure that the passenger receives their privilege. This compensation usually covers costs related to the disruption, including ticket and additional expenses.
The company keeps the passenger informed of the progress. They provide updates on negotiations and any legal actions taken on the passenger's behalf.[4]
