Big Sky Airlines passengers Thessaloniki-Skiros: what to do to file a claim

If your flight from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport to Skiros Airport flown by Big Sky Airlines was impacted, you are not alone when dealing with the airline.

With 216 km between Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport and Skiros Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 250€ per person.

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 carrier, if the flight departs from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport, EU regulation applies completely.

How to know if the flight Big Sky Airlines Thessaloniki - Skiros is eligible?

Make sure to retain your travel documents for the Big Sky Airlines SKG-SKU flight. They are the essential proof of your check-in.

In the case of a cancellation, if you were notified less than 14 days before your departure from Thessaloniki, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Big Sky Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Skiros.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Thessaloniki 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

Be wary by Big Sky Airlines's evasive wording: a "spontaneous" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

It's worth noting that the obligation to prove rests on Big Sky Airlines. It is the carrier's responsibility to demonstrate that the disruption of your Thessaloniki-Skiros flight results from a truly unforeseeable event.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking coupons from Big Sky Airlines. If you advance costs, save your invoices diligently.

The regulation is very clear: assistance is not an optional courtesy from Big Sky Airlines. It is a legal obligation that can be sanctioned.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Big Sky Airlines?

To get started: submit a written complaint to Big Sky Airlines's claims department explicitly citing Regulation CE 261/2004 and {the 250€ amount|your specific claim}.

The main benefit: they take on all the complexity and only collect fees if the 250€ are successfully recovered.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Stay determined despite Big Sky Airlines's non-response. It's a calculated strategy to make you abandon. Statistics show that the majority of passengers drop their claim before resolution.

Digital tools now make it possible to follow the status of your claim against Big Sky Airlines via an app. Short-haul cases are often resolved more quickly.

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

Hitting a dead end or getting a template rejection is sadly the lot of many passengers who claim alone for the Thessaloniki - Skiros route.

The win rate of expert platforms against Big Sky Airlines reaches 95-98% when the case is well-founded. This demonstrates the power of EU law against airline stalling tactics.
