Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:

Refund and compensation Aegean Airlines: route Athens to Tirana

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

By taking off from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 529 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

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 - Tirana is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Athens and Tirana 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 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 Tirana.
• 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.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

What are your rights at Athens airport in case of prolonged wait?

Don't buy your food without first asking Aegean Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

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.
