Procedure: Norwegian Air Shuttle flight compensation from London to Tromso

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 289 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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: Tromso (TOS)
  • Flight distance: 2 289 km (~2h52)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

For an Norwegian Air Shuttle flight from London to Tromso, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Norwegian Air Shuttle sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at London Gatwick 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 Tromso.
  • 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your London - Tromso trip is due to an internal strike within Norwegian Air Shuttle, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at London Gatwick Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Norwegian Air Shuttle has no control.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Norwegian Air Shuttle must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at London.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at London Gatwick Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

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

Getting justice against carrier Norwegian Air Shuttle requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Norwegian Air Shuttle.

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

Airlines like Norwegian Air Shuttle sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the London - Tromso line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Norwegian Air Shuttle convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
