Claim and compensation for flight Aegean Airlines Athens - Milos

Your claim for compensation for the Aegean Airlines flight from Athens to Milos deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Athens and Milos (146 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Aegean Airlines.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH)
  • Arrival airport: Milos Airport (MLO)
  • Flight distance: 146 km (~0h11)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Aegean Airlines.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Aegean Airlines offers you a voucher for your Athens - Milos flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Athens, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Aegean Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Athens - Milos trip is due to an internal strike within Aegean Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Athens, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Aegean Airlines.

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.

Your forced stay at Athens shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your ATH-MLO trip.
