Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Paros — Athens

How to be compensated by Aegean Airlines on the Paros (PAS) - Athens (ATH) line

From Paros Airport airport, your departure with Aegean Airlines to Athens didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 145 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Aegean Airlines Paros - Athens is eligible?

The compensation for flight PAS-ATH is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Aegean Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Paros Airport, the 250 € 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 Athens.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Paros 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Aegean Airlines must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Paros.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Paros Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Aegean Airlines?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

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 250 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Aegean Airlines to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

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

An unfounded refusal from Aegean Airlines is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Aegean Airlines is often more striking.
