Were you affected by problems on your flight from Hagfors to Torsby with Maastricht Airlines? Hours of waiting, an unexpected cancellation or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Your payout amount is independent of the fare. The distance alone of 36 km determines the payout under CE 261/2004.

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: Torsby Airport (TYF)
  • Flight distance: 36 km (~0h03)
