Refund and compensation Austrian Airlines: route Vienna to Tselinograd

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

By taking off from Vienna International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 3 880 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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 Austrian Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Austrian Airlines Vienna - Tselinograd is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Tselinograd. If Austrian Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Astana International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 3 880 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Austrian Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Austrian Airlines compensation

A work stoppage of Austrian Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 600 €.

A strike by weather services at Vienna International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Austrian Airlines has no control.
