Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
London — Trondheim

How to be compensated by Norwegian Air Shuttle on the London (LGW) - Trondheim (TRD) line

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 518 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 London - Trondheim is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from London Gatwick Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Trondheim.
• 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...).

The impact of a strike on your Norwegian Air Shuttle compensation

A work stoppage of Norwegian Air Shuttle crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at London, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Norwegian Air Shuttle.

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

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.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Norwegian Air Shuttle website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

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.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Norwegian Air Shuttle on your smartphone.

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 - Trondheim line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Norwegian Air Shuttle will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
