Flight compensation Atlasjet:
Nicosia — Izmir

Recover up to 250€ for Atlasjet flight Nicosia → Izmir

The stress of a cancellation at Ercan International Airport towards Izmir with Atlasjet gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

European legislation upholds passenger rights. For 664 km, the statutory payout applies if {the airline is at fault|Atlasjet bears responsibility}. The short-haul bracket applies fully here.

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.

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

How to know if the flight Atlasjet Nicosia - Izmir is eligible?

Verify your actual arrival time at Izmir. If Atlasjet made you wait more than three hours at Adnan Menderes International Airport, your entitlement is confirmed.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Izmir.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Nicosia airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Atlasjet (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
