Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
Alicante — Harstad/Narvik

Legal right to compensation: Norwegian Air Shuttle flight between Alicante and Harstad/Narvik

If your trip departing from Alicante International Airport and arriving at Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes operated by Norwegian Air Shuttle was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Alicante and Harstad/Narvik (3 519 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Norwegian Air Shuttle.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Norwegian Air Shuttle.
