Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Nantes — Athens

Claim and compensation for flight Aegean Airlines Nantes - Athens

The NTE - 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 Nantes and Athens (2 317 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Aegean Airlines.

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.

Did you know? Even if Aegean Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Nantes Atlantique Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Aegean Airlines Nantes - 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 2 317 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. 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 Nantes 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 Nantes - Athens trip is due to an internal strike within Aegean Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Aegean Airlines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

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

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Nantes remains valid. The hotel is due if Aegean Airlines offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Aegean Airlines?

Starting a procedure against Aegean Airlines for a flight from Nantes to Athens can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

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 400 € without stress.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Airlines like Aegean Airlines sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

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

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Nantes - Athens line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
