Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Athens — Kiev

Procedure: Aegean Airlines flight compensation from Athens to Kiev

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Athens and Kiev with Aegean Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 479 km of flight, the company Aegean Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Kiev Zhuliany International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Aegean Airlines owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kiev.
• 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...).
