Claim up to 600€ for Norwegian Air Shuttle flight Gran Canaria - Berlin

The endless wait at Gran Canaria Airport towards Berlin with Norwegian Air Shuttle doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

EU law strictly protects passenger rights. For 3 617 km, the legal compensation is owed if {the airline is at fault|Norwegian Air Shuttle bears responsibility}. The maximum amount applies to this distance.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Gran Canaria Airport (LPA)
  • Arrival airport: Berlin (SXF)
  • Flight distance: 3 617 km (~4h31)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Gran Canaria - Berlin is eligible?

To determine if your flight between Gran Canaria and Berlin is eligible for a payout, the main criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at Berlin}). It must exceed 3 hours.

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

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Gran Canaria airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Norwegian Air Shuttle (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Gran Canaria, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Norwegian Air Shuttle compensation

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

The duty of assistance is a essential provision of the EU text. Independently of the 600€ question, if the delay extends at Gran Canaria Airport, Norwegian Air Shuttle must distribute meal vouchers.
