Legal right to compensation: Norwegian Air Shuttle flight between Tromso and London

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

By taking off from Tromso, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 289 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

  • Departure airport: Tromso (TOS)
  • Arrival airport: London Gatwick Airport (LGW)
  • Flight distance: 2 289 km (~2h52)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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.
