Refund and compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle: route Malaga to London
Your claim for compensation for the Norwegian Air Shuttle flight from Malaga to London deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.
Given the route between Malaga and London (1 645 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: Malaga (AGP)
- Arrival airport: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
- Flight distance: 1 645 km (~2h03)
- 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 Malaga - London is eligible?
Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Norwegian Air Shuttle offers you a voucher for your Malaga - London flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.
Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.
What are the conditions for Norwegian Air Shuttle to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Malaga 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 Malaga, 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 Malaga - London 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 Malaga or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Norwegian Air Shuttle has no control.
What are your rights at Malaga airport in case of prolonged wait?
If Malaga airport becomes your temporary residence because of Norwegian Air Shuttle, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.
Your forced stay at Malaga shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your AGP-LGW trip.

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

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 Malaga - London 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.
