Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
Bergen — Edinburgh

Get your Norwegian Air Shuttle flight compensation for the route Bergen - Edinburgh

From Bergen Airport, Flesland airport, your departure with Norwegian Air Shuttle to Edinburgh didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 697 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 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Bergen - Edinburgh is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Bergen Airport, Flesland without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Edinburgh.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bergen 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Bergen - Edinburgh trip is due to an internal strike within Norwegian Air Shuttle, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Norwegian Air Shuttle 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 Bergen 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 Bergen Airport, Flesland, 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 Bergen Airport, Flesland and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Norwegian Air Shuttle?

The amicable route with Norwegian Air Shuttle to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Norwegian Air Shuttle website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 250 € indemnity.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Bergen to Edinburgh Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

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

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Norwegian Air Shuttle convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
