Aeroflot Russian Airlines passengers Karlovy Vary-Moscow: your guide to get compensated

If your journey from Karlovy Vary International Airport to Sheremetyevo International Airport operated by Aeroflot Russian Airlines was disrupted, the law protects you when dealing with the carrier.

Given the route between Karlovy Vary and Moscow (1 746 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Aeroflot Russian Airlines. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.

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.

  • Arrival airport: Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO)
  • Flight distance: 1 746 km (~2h11)
