Flight compensation Cyprus Airways:
Larnaca — Paris

Claim up to 400€ for Cyprus Airways flight Larnaca - Paris

The endless wait at Larnaca International Airport towards Paris with Cyprus Airways doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Cyprus Airways fails its obligations on the 2 981 km route from Larnaca to Paris.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, making Regulation 261/2004 a powerful tool against failings by carriers like Cyprus Airways.

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

To verify if your journey between Larnaca and Paris qualifies for compensation, the key criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Charles de Gaulle International Airport}). It must exceed 3 hours.

Even if Cyprus Airways offers a replacement flight, the 400€ indemnity remains owed if the final delay at Paris is over the 180-minute threshold.

What are the conditions for Cyprus Airways to compensate you?

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

A strike action by Cyprus Airways's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400€.

Even if the 400€ are not owed due to an external strike at Larnaca, care (food/accommodation) remains owed Cyprus Airways. Never forget this.

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

If Larnaca International Airport turns into your involuntary base because of Cyprus Airways, the law stipulates that your essential requirements must be covered by the carrier. For a medium-haul flight, the right to care kicks in after 3 hours.

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at Larnaca still applies. The hotel must be provided if Cyprus Airways delays your flight overnight.

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 Larnaca - Paris route.
