Get your Aegean Airlines flight compensation for the route Skiros - Athens

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Skiros and Athens with Aegean Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 124 km of flight, the company Aegean Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Skiros Airport (SKU)
  • Arrival airport: Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH)
  • Flight distance: 124 km (~0h09)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

The compensation for flight SKU-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 Skiros 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 Skiros airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aegean Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Skiros, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Aegean Airlines compensation

If your Aegean Airlines flight from Skiros Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Skiros - Athens flight.

What are your rights at Skiros 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 Skiros.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Skiros Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Aegean Airlines.

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?

On the SKU-ATH line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Aegean Airlines's legal department.

Recovering 250 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Aegean Airlines systems.

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Aegean Airlines is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.

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