Air Passenger Rights: Cancellations, Delays, and Compensation

As a passenger flying with Aegean Airlines, you are protected under EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EU 261 or EC 261) in case of flight delays, cancellations, or denied boarding. This regulation applies if your flight departs from an EU airport or if you are flying into the EU with an EU-based airline such as Aegean Airlines. If your flight is delayed by more than three hours upon arrival, cancelled without adequate notice, or you are denied boarding due to overbooking, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

The amount of compensation depends on the flight distance and the length of the delay:

• For flights up to 1,500 km: up to €250 per passenger
• For flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: up to €400 per passenger
• For flights over 3,500 km: up to €600 per passenger

It is important to note that your eligibility for compensation depends on the cause of the delay or cancellation. Extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes may exempt the airline from paying compensation. However, technical faults, operational issues, or crew shortages typically do not qualify as extraordinary circumstances, and you may still be eligible for compensation.

To claim your compensation, ensure your flight meets the following criteria:

• The flight departed from an EU airport, regardless of the airline, or
• The flight arrived in the EU and was operated by an EU-based carrier, such as Aegean Airlines

If your flight qualifies, you can claim up to €600 per person depending on the route distance and delay duration. Always keep your boarding pass, booking confirmation, and any communications from the airline as evidence for your claim.
