Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Athens — Mytilini

Legal right to compensation: Aegean Airlines flight between Athens and Mytilini

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

Given the route between Athens and Mytilini (262 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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Aegean Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Aegean Airlines offers you a voucher for your Athens - Mytilini 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 Mytilini.
• 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.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.
