Flight compensation Olympic Airlines:
Ioannina — Athens

Get your Olympic Airlines flight compensation for the route Ioannina - Athens

From Ioannina Airport airport, your departure with Olympic Airlines to Athens didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 334 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Olympic Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

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 flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Olympic Airlines Ioannina - Athens is eligible?

For an Olympic Airlines flight from Ioannina to Athens, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Olympic Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Ioannina Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Olympic Airlines 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 Ioannina airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Olympic Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Olympic Airlines compensation

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

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Olympic Airlines 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 Ioannina airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Ioannina Airport airport, Olympic Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Ioannina Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Olympic Airlines.
