unfortunately airlines will only pay out the cost of a ticket and not much else but thats no good if someone has had to book with another airline at short notice costing many hundreds of pounds more.
In 2014 i took my kids from stansted to ibiza with ryanair during a french ATC strike, but we were lucky as our flight got grounded for 2 and a half hours but did make it to ibiza, we met many folk in our hotel who had booked other flights home, mainly easyjet and had thier flights cancelled with no one to contact, so had to book flights with other airlines costing hundreds of pounds.

There is EU law, where you are supposed to be rerouted by alternatives. They do also have to pay you an amount of some 250 - 350 Euro if it is late more than a few hours and more than 1-2 hours flight etc.
Still, these EU rules are like if you walk on the sidewalk and a car hit you and you can't walk for the rest of your life. They pay you but is that a good deal for you?
If you are on a Ryanair flight on show day and you are on your way to Zurich and they tell you here you have your 30 Euro refund and see you in court if you start talking about those stupid EU rules... Meanwhile the Stones are on stage while you are a long flight away.
I fly the day before, usually late evening, if I can, and I never fly Ryanair unless I have a backup plan.
