The short answer
Can passengers claim for this BZ706 cancellation?
Bluebird Airways cancelled flight BZ706 from Tel Aviv – Ben Gurion International Airport to Athens on September 20, 2026. The route is 1,194 km. It sits in the EU 261 band for flights up to 1,500 km. EU Regulation 261/2004 can require compensation when the airline gave less than 14 days' notice and the replacement flight did not arrive close to the original time. The airport boards do not record when passengers were told.
Notice rules
When a cancellation pays out
Airport boards show that this flight was cancelled, not when passengers were told. That timing decides the claim.

Owed unless the new flight left no more than 1 hour early and landed less than 2 hours late.
- Often owed
Told 7 to 13 days before
Owed unless the new flight left no more than 2 hours early and landed less than 4 hours late.
- Not owed
Told 14 days or more before
No compensation, but you can still choose a full refund or a replacement flight.
Cancellations caused by extraordinary circumstances, such as severe weather, are exempt whatever the notice.
