Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
Hamburg — Malaga

How to be compensated by Norwegian Air Shuttle on the Hamburg (HAM) - Malaga (AGP) line

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 192 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 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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Hamburg - Malaga is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Malaga airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Norwegian Air Shuttle owes you 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Norwegian Air Shuttle sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Hamburg Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

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

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

If your Norwegian Air Shuttle flight from Hamburg Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Hamburg Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Hamburg 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 Hamburg Airport, Norwegian Air Shuttle must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Hamburg Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Norwegian Air Shuttle.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Norwegian Air Shuttle?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Malaga airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Norwegian Air Shuttle flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

On the HAM-AGP line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Norwegian Air Shuttle's legal department.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Norwegian Air Shuttle systems.

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

An unfounded refusal from Norwegian Air Shuttle is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Norwegian Air Shuttle is often more striking.
