Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Kiev — Athens

Compensation & claim for Aegean Airlines: Kiev to Athens

A cancellation on Aegean Airlines Kiev → Athens qualifies you for up to 250€. Check how to claim.

Leaving Kiev Zhuliany International Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 1 479 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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, making Regulation 261/2004 a powerful tool against failings by carriers like Aegean Airlines.

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

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

Even if Aegean Airlines offers a replacement flight, the 250€ indemnity remains owed if the final delay at Athens is over the 180-minute threshold.

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 Kiev 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

Be wary by Aegean Airlines's evasive wording: a unannounced or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

Even if the 250€ are not owed due to an external strike at Kiev, care (food/accommodation) remains owed Aegean Airlines. This is a separate right.

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

The right to care is a crucial provision of the EU text. Regardless of the 250€ question, if the delay drags on at Kiev Zhuliany International Airport, Aegean Airlines is obliged to provide coupons for food and drink.

The regulation is very clear: assistance is not an optional courtesy from Aegean Airlines. It is a regulatory requirement that can be sanctioned.
