Refund and compensation Aegean Airlines: route Leros to Astypalaia

The LRS - JTY 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 Leros and Astypalaia (77 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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Aegean Airlines.

How to know if the flight Aegean Airlines Leros - Astypalaia is eligible?

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Leros, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

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

A work stoppage of Aegean Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

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