Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Leros — Kalymnos

Refund and compensation Aegean Airlines: route Leros to Kalymnos

If your trip departing from Leros Airport and arriving at Kalymnos operated by Aegean Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 28 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 Leros - Kalymnos is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Leros and Kalymnos entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kalymnos.
• 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Leros - Kalymnos 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 Leros Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Aegean Airlines has no control.

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

If Leros Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Aegean Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Leros Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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 Leros Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Aegean Airlines. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Aegean Airlines flight from Leros can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Aegean Airlines convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
