How to be compensated by North Flying on the Oslo (OSL) - Fagernes (VDB) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Oslo and Fagernes with North Flying? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 138 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Oslo Gardermoen Airport (OSL)
  • Arrival airport: Leirin Airport (VDB)
  • Flight distance: 138 km (~0h10)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight North Flying Oslo - Fagernes is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Leirin Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, North Flying owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If North Flying sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for North Flying to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Fagernes.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Oslo airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to North Flying (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Oslo, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your North Flying compensation

Don't be fooled by North Flying's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, North Flying is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Oslo airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Oslo Gardermoen Airport airport, North Flying is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Oslo Gardermoen Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by North Flying.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from North Flying?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Leirin Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual North Flying flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Airlines like North Flying sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the North Flying flight from Oslo can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take North Flying's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company North Flying will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
