Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Aarhus — Copenhagen

Procedure: Scandinavian Airlines System flight compensation from Aarhus to Copenhagen

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Scandinavian Airlines System did not respect its scheduled times for your Aarhus - Copenhagen flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 148 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Scandinavian Airlines System to pay you financial compensation.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Scandinavian Airlines System Aarhus - Copenhagen is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Scandinavian Airlines System owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Scandinavian Airlines System sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Aarhus Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Scandinavian Airlines System to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Copenhagen.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Aarhus airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Scandinavian Airlines System (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Scandinavian Airlines System compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Scandinavian Airlines System staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Aarhus Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

Recovering 250 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Scandinavian Airlines System systems.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
