Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Kasos — Sitia

Get your Aegean Airlines flight compensation for the route Kasos - Sitia

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Kasos and Sitia with Aegean Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 77 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Aegean Airlines Kasos - Sitia is eligible?

For an Aegean Airlines flight from Kasos to Sitia, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Aegean Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Kasos Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Sitia.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Kasos 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 Kasos 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.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Kasos Airport airport, Aegean Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Kasos Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Aegean Airlines?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Sitia Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Aegean Airlines flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Aegean Airlines to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Aegean Airlines is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Kasos Airport airport to prove their faults.
