Refund and compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle: route Kirkenes to Oslo

If your trip departing from Kirkenes and arriving at Oslo Gardermoen Airport operated by Norwegian Air Shuttle was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Kirkenes and Oslo (1 377 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.

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

Also note that the distance of 1 377 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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

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