Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Gothenborg — Copenhagen

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

Your claim for compensation for the Scandinavian Airlines System flight from Gothenborg to Copenhagen deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 229 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

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 Gothenborg - Copenhagen is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Gothenborg and Copenhagen entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Gothenborg, 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 Copenhagen.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Gothenborg 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

Don't be fooled by Scandinavian Airlines System's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Scandinavian Airlines System has no control.

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

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Scandinavian Airlines System will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
