Cyprus Airways passengers Larnaca-Moscow: what to do to file a claim

If your flight from Larnaca International Airport to Sheremetyevo International Airport flown by Cyprus Airways was impacted, you are not alone when dealing with the airline.

Seize this entitlement: the Cyprus Airways flight Larnaca → Moscow (2 364 km) entitles you to 400€ compensation under EU regulation.

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.

This is not a goodwill 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 - Moscow is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Cyprus Airways offers you a travel credit for your Larnaca → Moscow 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.

What are the conditions for Cyprus Airways to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Moscow.
• 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...).
