Why are you entitled to 250 €?

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rhodos airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Egyptair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Egyptair compensation

Don't be misled by Egyptair's vague terms: a unannounced or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to air traffic control, Egyptair is exempted from the obligation to pay the 250€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

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

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Egyptair?

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