Complete guide: Norwegian Air Shuttle compensation New York - Stockholm

If your journey from John F Kennedy International Airport to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport operated by Norwegian Air Shuttle was disrupted, legal remedies exist when dealing with the carrier.

With 6 292 km between John F Kennedy International Airport and Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 600€ per passenger.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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: John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
  • Arrival airport: Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (ARN)
  • Flight distance: 6 292 km (~7h52)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Norwegian Air Shuttle, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle New York - Stockholm is eligible?

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if Norwegian Air Shuttle proposes a voucher for your New York - Stockholm flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 600€ guaranteed by the regulation.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from New York, the CE 261 applies equally.

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

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Stockholm.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at New York 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 New York, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

First concrete step: send a formal email to Norwegian Air Shuttle's customer service referencing Regulation CE 261/2004 and {the 600€ amount|your specific claim}.
