Flight compensation Cyprus Airways:
Larnaca — Athens

Claim and compensation for flight Cyprus Airways Larnaca - Athens

If your trip departing from Larnaca International Airport and arriving at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport operated by Cyprus Airways was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Larnaca International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 930 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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Cyprus Airways, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Cyprus Airways Larnaca - Athens is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Athens. If Cyprus Airways made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 930 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Cyprus Airways to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Cyprus Airways compensation

Don't be fooled by Cyprus Airways's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Larnaca, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Cyprus Airways.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Cyprus Airways for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Larnaca shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your LCA-ATH trip.

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

Don't take Cyprus Airways's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Cyprus Airways will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
