Refund and compensation Aegean Airlines: route Athens to Kalymnos

If your trip departing from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport and arriving at Kalymnos operated by Aegean Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 286 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Aegean Airlines Athens - Kalymnos is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 286 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kalymnos.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Athens airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aegean Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Aegean Airlines compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Aegean Airlines staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

What are your rights at Athens airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Aegean Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

An unfounded refusal from Aegean Airlines is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.
