    15.1.3. If the Airline pays compensation or provides services provided for in this section, no provision of these Regulations may be interpreted as limiting its right to claim compensation by way of recourse from any person, including third parties, in particular, for claims for compensation by a tour operator or other person with whom the Airline has entered into an agreement. Accordingly, no provision of these Regulations may be interpreted as restricting the rights of the tour operator or third parties other than the passenger with whom the Airline has entered into an agreement to claim reimbursement or compensation from the Airline in accordance with the law.

    15.1.4. The distances specified in this section are measured using the orthodromic route distance method.

    Unless the flight is cancelled by the Airline, the flight is considered cancelled if the departure is delayed for more than 48 hours.

    15.2. Compensation to passengers in case of denial of air transportation

    15.2.1. If the Airline reasonably expects that passengers will be denied boarding, it first seeks volunteers who are willing to cancel their confirmed reservation in exchange for the remuneration agreed between the passenger who voluntarily refuses to board the flight and the Airline.

    - reimbursement of the cost of transportation within seven days, which must be paid in cash, electronic bank transfer, bank orders or bank cheques or (with the passenger's consent in writing) in the form of traveller's cheques and/or other services, the full cost of the ticket at the price at which it was purchased, for the unused part of the ticket and for the used part or parts of the ticket if the flight no longer meets the needs of the passenger, and to provide (if necessary) a return flight to the original point of departure at the first opportunity;

    - EUR 600 - for flights over 3500 kilometres.
    When determining the distance, the last point is taken as the basis, where the refusal to transport or non-performance of a previously scheduled flight for which at least one seat is booked will delay the arrival of passengers at the scheduled time.

    15.2.6. The Airline has the right to reduce the amount of compensation specified in Paragraph 15.2.5 of this Chapter by 50% if the passenger is offered a replacement of the route of transportation to their destination by alternative flights, the arrival time of which does not exceed the scheduled time:
    - two hours - for flights up to 1500 kilometres; or

    - four hours - for flights not specified in the second and third subparagraphs of this paragraph.
    The distance specified in this subparagraph shall be measured using the orthodromic route distance method.
