Flight compensation Austrian Airlines:
Vienna — Yerevan

Legal right: Austrian Airlines flight between Vienna and Yerevan

If your journey from Vienna International Airport to Zvartnots International Airport operated by Austrian Airlines was disrupted, the law protects you when dealing with the carrier.

With 2 375 km between Vienna International Airport and Zvartnots International Airport, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 400€ per passenger.

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.

Did you know? Even if Austrian Airlines is a non-EU carrier, if the flight departs from Vienna International Airport, EU regulation applies completely.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Austrian Airlines offers you a travel credit for your Vienna → Yerevan flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 400€ provided by law.

An upgrade or downgrade doesn't affect your right to 400€ if the original incident qualifies under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Yerevan.
• 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 by Austrian Airlines's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 400€.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to air traffic control, Austrian Airlines is exempted from the obligation to pay the 400€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

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

An often-forgotten point: the right to care applies even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 400€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Austrian Airlines is exempt from the payout, care is still owed.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, the right to assistance at Vienna remains valid. The hotel is owed if Austrian Airlines pushes your flight by a day.
