Legal right to compensation: Scandinavian Airlines System flight between Copenhagen and Bologna

Your claim for compensation for the Scandinavian Airlines System flight from Copenhagen to Bologna 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 1 236 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: Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (CPH)
  • Arrival airport: Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport (BLQ)
  • Flight distance: 1 236 km (~1h33)
  • 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 Scandinavian Airlines System.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Scandinavian Airlines System offers you a voucher for your Copenhagen - Bologna flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Copenhagen, the regulation applies in the same way.

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

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Copenhagen, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Scandinavian Airlines System compensation

A work stoppage of Scandinavian Airlines System crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Scandinavian Airlines System is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Scandinavian Airlines System for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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