Flight compensation Olympic Airlines:
Kasos — Sitia

Procedure: Olympic Airlines flight compensation from Kasos to Sitia

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Kasos and Sitia with Olympic Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 77 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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.
