Claim and compensation for flight Aegean Airlines Astypalaia - Leros

The JTY - LRS route operated by Aegean Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Astypalaia Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 77 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Did you know? Even if Aegean Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Astypalaia Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Aegean Airlines Astypalaia - Leros is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Astypalaia and Leros entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Astypalaia, the regulation applies in the same way.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Astypalaia airport.
