Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Rhodos — Moscow

Legal right to compensation: Aegean Airlines flight between Rhodos and Moscow

The RHO - DME route operated by Aegean Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 240 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 Diagoras Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Aegean Airlines Rhodos - Moscow is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Rhodos and Moscow 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 400 € 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 Moscow.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rhodos 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

Don't be fooled by Aegean Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Rhodos, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Aegean Airlines.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Aegean Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

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

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

For your Rhodos - Moscow trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Aegean Airlines staff at the Diagoras Airport counter during the incident.

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?

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 Rhodos 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 400 € 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.
