Legal right to compensation: Scandinavian Airlines System flight between Malmoe and Stockholm

If your trip departing from Malmoe and arriving at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport operated by Scandinavian Airlines System was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Malmoe and Stockholm (531 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Scandinavian Airlines System.

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.

Did you know? Even if Scandinavian Airlines System is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Malmoe, the European regulation applies in full.

A collective action on the Scandinavian Airlines System flight from Malmoe can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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.
