Olympic Airlines passengers Karpathos-Kasos: what to do to file a claim

The flight AOK → KSJ by Olympic Airlines suffered an incident? Delay, cancellation or overbooking, you may be entitled to a legal payout.

With 21 km between Karpathos Airport and Kasos Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 250€ per person.

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 is by no means a commercial courtesy from Olympic Airlines, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Olympic Airlines Karpathos - Kasos is eligible?

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if Olympic Airlines proposes a voucher for your Karpathos - Kasos flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 250€ guaranteed by the regulation.

What many don't know: you have up to 5 years to submit your request against Olympic Airlines for the Karpathos-Kasos flight. Don't think it's too late even after several months.

What are the conditions for Olympic Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kasos.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Karpathos airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Olympic Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

A strike action by Olympic Airlines's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250€.

A strike by air traffic control at Karpathos Airport or Eurocontrol is an independent circumstance over which Olympic Airlines cannot act.

Care is due after 2h of delay for this route. Olympic Airlines must guarantee the wellbeing of passengers stranded at Karpathos. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.
