Legal right to compensation: Norwegian Air Shuttle flight between Nice and Bergen

If your trip departing from Nice and arriving at Bergen Airport, Flesland operated by Norwegian Air Shuttle was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Nice and Bergen (1 855 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: Nice (NCE)
  • Arrival airport: Bergen Airport, Flesland (BGO)
  • Flight distance: 1 855 km (~2h19)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This is not a commercial gesture from Norwegian Air Shuttle, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Nice - Bergen is eligible?

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

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 Bergen.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Nice 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 Nice, 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

Don't be fooled by Norwegian Air Shuttle's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Norwegian Air Shuttle is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Norwegian Air Shuttle for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

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

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

For your Nice - Bergen trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Norwegian Air Shuttle staff at the Nice counter during the incident.

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

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 Nice - Bergen line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
