Is your Olympic Air flight cancelled?

Has your flight with Olympic Air been cancelled?

Was your Olympic Air flight cancelled? You may be entitled to compensation of up to €600 per person under Regulation 261/2004. Read more about your rights and check whether you are entitled to compensation.

If your flight with Olympic Air is cancelled, when are you entitled to compensation?

Your right to compensation for a cancelled flight depends on when you were notified of the cancellation:

• If you were informed more than 2 weeks in advance, you are not entitled to compensation
• If you were informed between 14 and 7 days before departure and you arrived more than 4 hours later, you are entitled to compensation
• If you were informed 7 days or less before departure and you arrived more than 2 hours later, you are entitled to compensation

Note that you are only entitled to compensation if you were flying from an EU country, or if you were flying from outside of the EU to an EU country with a European airline.

You should be offered a replacement flight by Olympic Air

Olympic Air is obliged to offer you an alternative flight. The above schedule of compensation will apply if you accept the alternative flight and then arrive at the airport earlier or later than planned.

Even if you were informed by Olympic Air less than 2 weeks before the scheduled departure and you refuse the alternative flight, you are entitled to compensation. In addition, you must get a refund of your ticket costs. You always have the right to refuse an alternative flight.

What if Olympic Air is not responsible for the cancellation?

In some cases, you are not entitled to compensation when your flight is cancelled. This is the case if the airline cannot be held responsible for the cancellation. Examples are cancellations because of bad weather conditions, terrorism, emergency landings and strikes conducted by non-Olympic Air staff. We refer to these circumstances as extraordinary circumstances.

Within the EU:

• €250 compensation for a cancelled flight up to 1500 km
• €400 compensation for a cancelled flight between 1500 and 3500 km

For flight destinations outside the EU you are entitled to:

• €250 compensation for a cancelled flight up to 1500 km
• €400 compensation for a cancelled flight between 1500 and 3500 km
• €600 compensation for a flight exceeding 3500 km

How much compensation will Olympic Air have to pay you?

If your cancelled flight is covered by Regulation 261/2004 and you are entitled to compensation, the amount of compensation is based on the distance of your flight. This is divided into EU and non-EU destinations.
