How to be compensated by Eastern Airways on the Stavanger (SVG) - Aberdeen (ABZ) line
From Stavanger Airport, Sola airport, your departure with Eastern Airways to Aberdeen didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 497 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Eastern Airways to pay you financial compensation.
Why are you entitled to 250 €?
The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

- Arrival airport: Aberdeen Dyce Airport (ABZ)
- Flight distance: 497 km (~0h37)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
How to know if the flight Eastern Airways Stavanger - Aberdeen is eligible?
The compensation for flight SVG-ABZ is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Eastern Airways sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Stavanger Airport, Sola, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Aberdeen.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Stavanger airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Eastern Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Stavanger, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Eastern Airways compensation
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Aberdeen Dyce Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Stavanger - Aberdeen flight.
What are your rights at Stavanger airport in case of prolonged wait?
In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Stavanger Airport, Sola, Eastern Airways must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Stavanger Airport, Sola terminal is also included in the legal package due by Eastern Airways.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from Eastern Airways?
Getting justice against carrier Eastern Airways requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.
Don't fill out complex forms on the Eastern Airways website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 250 € indemnity.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Eastern Airways to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.
If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Stavanger - Aberdeen section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The first refusal from Eastern Airways should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.
For your 250 €, don't compromise with Eastern Airways without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Stavanger.
