From Chios Island National Airport airport, your departure with Transavia Holland to Mytilini didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Arrival airport: Mytilene International Airport (MJT)
  • Flight distance: 89 km (~0h07)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 Transavia Holland Chios - Mytilini is eligible?

The compensation for flight JKH-MJT is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Transavia Holland sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Chios Island National Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Chios airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Transavia Holland (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Chios, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Transavia Holland compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Mytilene 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 Chios - Mytilini flight.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Chios Island National Airport, Transavia Holland must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Chios Island National Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

The amicable route with Transavia Holland to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Transavia Holland.

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

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Chios - Mytilini section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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