Flight compensation Scandinavian Airlines System:
Oslo — Aalborg

Legal right to compensation: Scandinavian Airlines System flight between Oslo and Aalborg

The OSL - AAL route operated by Scandinavian Airlines System experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 344 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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Scandinavian Airlines System, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Scandinavian Airlines System Oslo - Aalborg is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Aalborg. If Scandinavian Airlines System made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Aalborg Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 344 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Aalborg.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Oslo 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 Oslo Gardermoen 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 Oslo airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Oslo Gardermoen Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Scandinavian Airlines System, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

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