Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Athens — Tbilisi

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

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 837 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

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 - Tbilisi is eligible?

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

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € 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 Tbilisi.
• 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

A work stoppage of Aegean Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Even if 400 € 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?

During these long hours of waiting in the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Athens remains valid. The hotel is due if Aegean Airlines offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Aegean Airlines?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Aegean Airlines boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Athens - Tbilisi line.
