Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
Athens — Oslo

Get your Norwegian Air Shuttle flight compensation for the route Athens - Oslo

From Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport, your departure with Norwegian Air Shuttle to Oslo didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 629 km of flight, the company Norwegian Air Shuttle is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

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 Norwegian Air Shuttle Athens - Oslo is eligible?

The compensation for flight ATH-OSL is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Norwegian Air Shuttle sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Norwegian Air Shuttle to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Norwegian Air Shuttle compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Oslo Gardermoen 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.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Athens 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 Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, Norwegian Air Shuttle must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Norwegian Air Shuttle?

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

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Norwegian Air Shuttle flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Norwegian Air Shuttle customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Norwegian Air Shuttle is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Norwegian Air Shuttle is often more striking.
