Even if Norwegian Air Shuttle reroutes you, the 250€ compensation still applies if the arrival at Stockholm exceeds 3 hours.

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

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Riga 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 Riga, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The EU Court of Justice has clearly stated: internal industrial action do not constitute extraordinary circumstances for airlines. This ruling is binding across the entire EU.

The right to care is a crucial provision of the EU text. Regardless of the 250€ question, if the delay drags on at Riga International Airport, Norwegian Air Shuttle is obliged to provide coupons for food and drink.

Your forced stay at Riga should not cost you a single extra cent beyond your original booking for RIX→ARN. Even on a short route, hotel accommodation is owed for overnight delays.
