Refund and compensation Olympic Airlines: route Kalymnos to Leros

Your claim for compensation for the Olympic Airlines flight from Kalymnos to Leros deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Kalymnos and Leros (28 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Olympic Airlines.

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 Olympic Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Kalymnos, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Olympic Airlines Kalymnos - Leros is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Olympic Airlines offers you a voucher for your Kalymnos - Leros flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 28 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Olympic Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Leros.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Kalymnos 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

If your Olympic Airlines flight from Kalymnos was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Kalymnos airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Olympic Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Kalymnos shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your JKL-LRS trip.

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

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Olympic Airlines is often more striking.
