Refund and compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle: route London to Dubrovnik

The LGW - DBV route operated by Norwegian Air Shuttle experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between London and Dubrovnik (1 690 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Norwegian Air Shuttle.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
  • Arrival airport: Dubrovnik Airport (DBV)
  • Flight distance: 1 690 km (~2h07)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Norwegian Air Shuttle.

How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle London - Dubrovnik is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Dubrovnik. If Norwegian Air Shuttle made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Dubrovnik Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 690 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. 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 Dubrovnik.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at London 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 London, 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Dubrovnik Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your London - Dubrovnik flight.

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

If London Gatwick Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Norwegian Air Shuttle, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to London Gatwick Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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

For your London - Dubrovnik trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Norwegian Air Shuttle staff at the London Gatwick Airport counter during the incident.

By entrusting your case regarding flight LGW-DBV to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

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

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Norwegian Air Shuttle to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

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.
