Claim and compensation for flight Norwegian Air Shuttle Split - London

The SPU - LGW route operated by Norwegian Air Shuttle experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 498 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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: Split Airport (SPU)
  • Arrival airport: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
  • Flight distance: 1 498 km (~1h52)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 Split - London is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Norwegian Air Shuttle offers you a voucher for your Split - London flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 1 498 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. 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 London.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Split 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 Split, 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 Split - 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 Split Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Norwegian Air Shuttle has no control.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Split 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 Split shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your SPU-LGW trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Norwegian Air Shuttle?

Starting a procedure against Norwegian Air Shuttle for a flight from Split to London can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Norwegian Air Shuttle. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Norwegian Air Shuttle on your smartphone.

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 Split - London line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Norwegian Air Shuttle convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
