Full breakdown: Norwegian Air Shuttle claim Copenhagen → Madrid

If your flight from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport to Madrid Barajas International Airport flown by Norwegian Air Shuttle was impacted, the law protects you when dealing with the airline.

Given the distance between Copenhagen and Madrid (2 060 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by Norwegian Air Shuttle. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.

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.

  • Departure airport: Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (CPH)
  • Arrival airport: Madrid Barajas International Airport (MAD)
  • Flight distance: 2 060 km (~2h35)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Good to know? Even if Norwegian Air Shuttle is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

The impact of a strike on your Norwegian Air Shuttle compensation

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

Too many passengers don't know that Norwegian Air Shuttle must offer them sustenance and contact means throughout the delay at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. It's a legal obligation, not a bonus.
