Thanks Hilmar for your reply. Are you aware of any accompanying measure to EC 261, or any legal precedent, that set a time frame for an application? In order to write "legal sounding letters with due dates" I should have a vague idea of whether they have crossed this line.

I added some notes on the timing. Unfortunately the law isn't super helpful but that doesn't make much of a difference since the airlines will happily ignore whatever the law says anyway. This being said, you have long crossed the line. Ryan Air will NOT get back to you voluntarily. You need to start pestering them now and keep doing so at least once a week.

@NicolaSap There's no such thing as a line that would matter these days. The airlines simply don't have nowhere near enough cash to pay all the refunds and compensations until air travel returns to "normal" levels. The governments and enforcement agencies also don't want to force all airlines to go bankrupt. By law, you should have received a refund or compensation long ago, but now we're at a point where those capable of enforcing it mostly have to keep looking the other way until the pandemic is over. Anything else could trigger an avalanche.

@TooTea The Kosovan national enforcement body saw to it that I got compensation (€400) for a cancelled flight in July. So at least some countries' bodies still care.
