Refund and compensation Cyprus Airways: route Larnaca to Tel-aviv

If your trip departing from Larnaca International Airport and arriving at Ben Gurion 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 339 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 Cyprus Airways is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Larnaca International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Cyprus Airways offers you a voucher for your Larnaca - Tel-aviv flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

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

What are the conditions for Cyprus Airways to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tel-aviv.
• 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 work stoppage of Cyprus Airways crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Cyprus Airways is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Larnaca International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Cyprus Airways, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

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

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Cyprus Airways?

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

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

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
