Steps: claim for Finnair flight from Helsinki to Oslo

Your Finnair flight from Helsinki to Oslo was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

The good news is, for this journey of 767 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Finnair to provide financial compensation. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Oslo Gardermoen Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Finnair must pay you 250€.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Finnair segment Helsinki-Oslo causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.
