Get your Aegean Airlines flight compensation for the route Kos - Moscow
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Kos and Moscow 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 2 225 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.
Why are you entitled to 400 €?
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: Kos Airport (KGS)
- Arrival airport: Domodedovo International Airport (DME)
- Flight distance: 2 225 km (~2h47)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
How to know if the flight Aegean Airlines Kos - Moscow is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Domodedovo International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Aegean Airlines owes you 400 €.
The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Aegean Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Kos Airport, the 400 € 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 Moscow.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Kos airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aegean Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Kos, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Aegean Airlines compensation
Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Kos - Moscow trip is due to an internal strike within Aegean Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.
A strike by weather services at Kos Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Aegean Airlines has no control.
What are your rights at Kos 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 Kos Airport, Aegean Airlines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Kos Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
Steps: how to get your 400 € from Aegean Airlines?
Getting justice against carrier Aegean Airlines requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.
To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Aegean Airlines.
How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?
Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Kos to Domodedovo International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.
By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Don't take Aegean Airlines's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.
Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Aegean Airlines convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
