Flight compensation Olympic Airlines:
Syros Island — Athens

Claim and compensation for flight Olympic Airlines Syros Island - Athens

If your trip departing from Syros 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 Syros Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 105 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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Olympic Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Athens. If Olympic Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 105 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 Athens.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Syros Island 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 Eleftherios Venizelos International 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.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Syros Island - Athens flight.

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

If Syros Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Olympic Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Syros Island shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your JSY-ATH trip.

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

Starting a procedure against Olympic Airlines for a flight from Syros Island to Athens can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

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

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Olympic Airlines to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

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

The first refusal from Olympic Airlines should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Syros Airport airport to prove their faults.
