Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:

Refund and compensation Aegean Airlines: route Kerkyra/corfu to Athens

The CFU - ATH 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 Kerkyra/corfu and Athens (396 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 Kerkyra/corfu - Athens is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Athens. If Aegean Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 396 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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 Kerkyra/corfu 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 Ioannis Kapodistrias 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.

What are your rights at Kerkyra/corfu 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 Kerkyra/corfu remains valid. The hotel is due if Aegean Airlines offsets your flight by one night.

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

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

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

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?

An unfounded refusal from Aegean Airlines is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Aegean Airlines without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Kerkyra/corfu.
