Flight compensation Olympic Airlines:
Rhodos — Kastelorizo

How to be compensated by Olympic Airlines on the Rhodos (RHO) - Kastelorizo (KZS) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Rhodos and Kastelorizo 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 137 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.

How to know if the flight Olympic Airlines Rhodos - Kastelorizo is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Kastelorizo Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Olympic Airlines owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Diagoras Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Olympic Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kastelorizo.
• 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 Olympic Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Olympic Airlines compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Kastelorizo Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Olympic Airlines must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Rhodos.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Diagoras Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
