Flight compensation Olympic Airlines:
Skiros — Athens

Claim and compensation for flight Olympic Airlines Skiros - Athens

If your trip departing from Skiros Airport and arriving at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport operated by Olympic Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Skiros Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 124 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 Skiros Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

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

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Skiros, the regulation applies in the same way.

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 Skiros 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Skiros - Athens trip is due to an internal strike within Olympic Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Skiros, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Olympic Airlines.

What are your rights at Skiros 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 Skiros shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your SKU-ATH trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Olympic Airlines?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Olympic Airlines boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Skiros Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Olympic Airlines. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Olympic Airlines flight from Skiros can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Olympic Airlines's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Olympic Airlines will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
