Refund and compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle: route Bergen to Keflavik

The BGO - KEF route operated by Norwegian Air Shuttle experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Bergen and Keflavik (1 489 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Norwegian Air Shuttle.

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.

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.

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

To determine if your trip between Bergen and Keflavik entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Keflavik.
• 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

Don't be fooled by Norwegian Air Shuttle'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, 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?

If Bergen Airport, Flesland airport becomes your temporary residence because of Norwegian Air Shuttle, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Bergen remains valid. The hotel is due if Norwegian Air Shuttle offsets your flight by one night.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

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