The route CDG - SKG by Aegean Airlines was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.
Given the route between Paris and Thessaloniki (1 860 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Aegean Airlines. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.
Why are you entitled to 400 €?

- Departure airport: Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG)
- Arrival airport: Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (SKG)
- Flight distance: 1 860 km (~2h20)

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Thessaloniki|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Aegean Airlines is responsible for|the fault lies with} Aegean Airlines.
An class change doesn't change your right to 400€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.
