Your rights in the event of a disrupted Sky Express flight
Because Sky Express is a Greek airline, your air passenger rights are protected by the EU Regulations, also known as the EU 261, when you're flying with Sky Express. Depending on the circumstances, this could grant you up to £520 for your cancelled or delated Sky Express flight!

Extraordinary circumstances — when can Sky Express deny me compensation?
If the delay or cancellation was caused by a third party or by force majeure, Sky Express reserves the right to refuse compensation. These situations are known as extraordinary circumstances.
Some of the most common extraordinary circumstances are as follows:
Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.
A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).
However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!
Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.
Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.
A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.
An ill or unruly passenger.
Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.
However, keep in mind that airlines sometimes claim that an extraordinary circumstance happened, even if that was not the case. They do it to avoid paying out compensation.
How long do I have to claim my Sky Express compensation and refund?
If you flew from the UK, you have 6 years to claim flight compensation and refund. When flying from Scotland, you have 5 years to claim.
