Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
Copenhagen — Riga

Legal right: Norwegian Air Shuttle flight between Copenhagen and Riga

You travelled with Norwegian Air Shuttle from Copenhagen to Riga and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between Copenhagen and Riga (713 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Norwegian Air Shuttle. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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 is by no means a commercial courtesy from Norwegian Air Shuttle, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Copenhagen - Riga is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Riga|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Norwegian Air Shuttle is responsible for|the fault lies with} Norwegian Air Shuttle.

An class change doesn't change your right to 250€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

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

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