Aegean Airlines compensation guide
The airline name alone does not determine your rights. Route, operating carrier and disruption details matter.
Quick answer
Could your flight qualify?
You may be entitled to compensation for an eligible Aegean Airlines delay, cancellation, involuntary denied boarding or disrupted connection. EC261 can cover qualifying Aegean journeys both from and into the European Union, while UK261, SHY-YOLCU or GACA may also apply depending on your route.

Passenger rights
Which passenger rights could apply?
Aegean Airlines is a Greek EU carrier with an extensive European and international network. EC261 is therefore especially important, while journeys involving the United Kingdom, Türkiye or Saudi Arabia can bring additional passenger-rights frameworks into scope.
European Union
EC261
€250–€600 in qualifying cases
Qualifying Aegean flights departing from airports covered by EC261 can fall under EU passenger-rights rules. Because Aegean is an EU carrier, Aegean-operated flights arriving into the EU from outside the EU can also fall within EC261.

UK261
£220–£520 in qualifying cases
Aegean-operated departures from the United Kingdom can fall under UK261. Because Aegean is an EU carrier, qualifying Aegean-operated arrivals into the UK from outside the UK can also be covered.

SHY-YOLCU
TRY equivalent of €100–€600
Qualifying Aegean departures from airports in Türkiye can fall under SHY-YOLCU. The route, disruption type, final arrival impact and other regulatory conditions determine the applicable passenger rights.

GACA
About SAR 255–765 for qualifying delay cases
Saudi Arabia's passenger-rights regulations apply to departures from Saudi airports operated by national or foreign airlines. Qualifying Aegean departures from Saudi Arabia can therefore fall under GACA.

What happened to your Aegean Airlines flight?
Delayed flight
A significant arrival delay may qualify depending on the route, applicable passenger-rights rules and cause of the disruption.
Cancelled flight
Cancellation rights can depend on notice timing, the reason for cancellation and any alternative journey offered.
Denied boarding
Involuntary denied boarding can create compensation, alternative travel, refund and care rights in qualifying circumstances.
Missed connection
A connecting journey booked as one itinerary may qualify when a disruption causes you to reach your final destination significantly late.
Important conditions
What can affect your eligibility?
An A3 flight number alone does not determine your rights. Aegean Group journeys can include Olympic Air or partner-operated segments, so Travaro checks the actual operating airline, route, booking structure and disruption before applying the relevant passenger-rights rules.
EC261 has broad relevance to Aegean
Because Aegean is an EU carrier, qualifying departures from airports covered by EC261 can be protected, and Aegean-operated flights arriving into the EU from outside the EU can also fall within the regulation.
Olympic Air may operate part of your journey
Some journeys within the Aegean network may be operated by Olympic Air. The actual operating carrier shown on the booking should be checked when assessing passenger-rights coverage.
Türkiye departures can bring SHY-YOLCU into scope
Aegean operates services involving Türkiye. For qualifying departures from Turkish airports, Türkiye's passenger-rights rules can become relevant alongside the wider journey context.
Saudi departures can bring GACA into scope
Aegean serves Saudi Arabia. GACA applies to qualifying departures from Saudi airports whether the carrier is Saudi or foreign, so direction of travel matters.
Final arrival delay can be decisive
For qualifying delay and connecting-flight claims, entitlement can depend on how late you reached the final destination on the protected itinerary rather than only the delay of one flight segment.
Cancellation notice timing matters
For EC261 and UK261 cancellation claims, when Aegean informed you and the replacement travel offered can affect whether fixed compensation is payable.
