Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Athens — Limnos

Full breakdown: Aegean Airlines claim Athens → Limnos

The flight ATH → LXS by Aegean Airlines suffered an incident? Delay, cancellation or overbooking, you may be entitled to a legal payout.

Given the distance between Athens and Limnos (247 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by Aegean Airlines. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

Good to know? Even if Aegean Airlines is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

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

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Limnos|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Aegean Airlines is responsible for|the fault lies with} Aegean Airlines.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Athens, the CE 261 applies equally.

The CJEU has definitively ruled: staff strikes are not force majeure for carriers. This precedent is authoritative across all 27 EU member states.
