Get your Aegean Airlines flight compensation for the route Kavala - Athens

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Aegean Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Kavala - Athens flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 336 km of flight, the company Aegean Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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: Alexander the Great International Airport (KVA)
  • Arrival airport: Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH)
  • Flight distance: 336 km (~0h25)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Aegean Airlines KVA-ATH flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Kavala.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Athens.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Kavala airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aegean Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Aegean Airlines compensation

Don't be fooled by Aegean Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Alexander the Great International Airport, Aegean Airlines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Alexander the Great International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Aegean Airlines.

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

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

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