Flight delay compensation?

So just flew back with Ryanair, from Riga which had an plane that had an incident that took about 7 hours to resolve and meant our flight was about 8 hours late to arrive back in London. From what I read compensation is only issued if it'd a fault due to the airline. But the airline that caused the runaway closure issue was airbaltic.

Does this apply for compensation?

Do you have travel insurance? If you do, you'll still need to check your policy ref. qualifying number of hours to be eligable.
