Refund and compensation Big Sky Airlines: route Athens to Kastoria

Your claim for compensation for the Big Sky Airlines flight from Athens to Kastoria deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 361 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Big Sky Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Big Sky Airlines Athens - Kastoria is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Kastoria. If Big Sky Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Kastoria National Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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

The impact of a strike on your Big Sky Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Athens - Kastoria trip is due to an internal strike within Big Sky Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Athens, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Big Sky Airlines.
