Flight compensation Aeroflot Russian Airlines:
Athens — Moscow

Claim and compensation for flight Aeroflot Russian Airlines Athens - Moscow

If your trip departing from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport and arriving at Sheremetyevo International Airport operated by Aeroflot Russian Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 242 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.

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

How to know if the flight Aeroflot Russian Airlines Athens - Moscow is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Athens 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.

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

What are the conditions for Aeroflot Russian 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 Athens airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aeroflot Russian Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Aeroflot Russian Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Athens - Moscow trip is due to an internal strike within Aeroflot Russian Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Aeroflot Russian Airlines has no control.

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

If Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Aeroflot Russian Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Athens shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your ATH-SVO trip.
