Air Serbia passengers Athens-Belgrade: your guide to get compensated

The route ATH - BEG by Air Serbia was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

With 823 km between Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport and Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 250€ per passenger.

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 goodwill gesture from Air Serbia, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

Three conditions must be met to trigger your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Belgrade|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Air Serbia is responsible for|the fault lies with} Air Serbia.

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

The initial rejection from Air Serbia must not make you give up. In most cases, passenger services invoke "weather" by default to gauge the traveller's persistence.

The Civil Aviation Authority or its European counterparts can be bureaucratic. A direct court claim against Air Serbia is often faster. For short-haul, the local small claims court is often competent.
