Flight compensation Norwegian Air Shuttle:
Rome — Helsinki

Legal right to compensation: Norwegian Air Shuttle flight between Rome and Helsinki

Your claim for compensation for the Norwegian Air Shuttle flight from Rome to Helsinki deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 234 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Norwegian Air Shuttle is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Rome - Helsinki is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 2 234 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Helsinki.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rome 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 €.

A strike by weather services at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Norwegian Air Shuttle has no control.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Rome shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your FCO-HEL trip.
