Wizz Air Ukraine passengers Larnaca-Kiev: your guide to get compensated

The route LCA - IEV by Wizz Air Ukraine was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

Don't miss this opportunity: the Wizz Air Ukraine flight Larnaca - Kiev (1 745 km) qualifies you for 400€ per person under CE 261/2004.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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

  • Departure airport: Larnaca International Airport (LCA)
  • Arrival airport: Kiev Zhuliany International Airport (IEV)
  • Flight distance: 1 745 km (~2h11)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This is not a goodwill gesture from Wizz Air Ukraine, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Wizz Air Ukraine Larnaca - Kiev is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Wizz Air Ukraine offers you a travel credit for your Larnaca → Kiev flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 400€ provided by law.

A little-known fact: you have 5 years in France to file your claim against Wizz Air Ukraine for the Larnaca→Kiev flight. Don't assume it's impossible to claim if the incident was some time ago.

What are the conditions for Wizz Air Ukraine to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kiev.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Larnaca airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Wizz Air Ukraine (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Wizz Air Ukraine compensation

The EU Court of Justice has clearly stated: internal industrial action do not constitute extraordinary circumstances for airlines. This ruling is binding across the entire EU.

Key distinction: if the delay is caused by air traffic control, Wizz Air Ukraine is released from paying the 400€ indemnity, but not its care obligation.

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

The right to care is a crucial provision of the EU text. Regardless of the 400€ question, if the delay drags on at Larnaca International Airport, Wizz Air Ukraine is obliged to provide coupons for food and drink.

Your forced stay at Larnaca should not cost you a single extra cent beyond your original booking for LCA→IEV. For a medium-haul, accommodation costs at Larnaca can be significant — Wizz Air Ukraine must cover them.
