Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Thessaloniki — Mytilini

Legal right to compensation: Aegean Airlines flight between Thessaloniki and Mytilini

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

By taking off from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 350 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Aegean Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Aegean Airlines Thessaloniki - Mytilini is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Aegean Airlines offers you a voucher for your Thessaloniki - Mytilini flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Thessaloniki, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Mytilini.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Thessaloniki 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 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Thessaloniki, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Aegean Airlines.

What are your rights at Thessaloniki 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.

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

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

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

By entrusting your case regarding flight SKG-MJT to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 250 € 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 Thessaloniki 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 Thessaloniki - Mytilini 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.
