Flight compensation Widerøe:
Bergen — Tromso

Widerøe flight Bergen - Tromso: your rights to compensation

From Bergen Airport, Flesland, your departure with Widerøe to Tromso didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against airlines.

Thanks to EU Regulation CE 261, passengers affected by disruptions on a 1 221 km route can claim a fixed payout from {the carrier|Widerøe}.

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 statutory compensation system was created to discourage airlines from cancelling flights without compelling reasons. Don't hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful legal tool.

How to know if the flight Widerøe Bergen - Tromso is eligible?

For an Widerøe flight from Bergen to Tromso, schedule adherence is a duty of result. A delay of 3 hours activates the right to {financial compensation|the 250€ payout}.

Retain your proof of booking for the Widerøe BGO→TOS flight — they are essential to prove you were present at boarding at Bergen.

What are the conditions for Widerøe to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Widerøe compensation

A work stoppage by Widerøe's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 250€.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to air traffic control, Widerøe is exempted from the obligation to pay the 250€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.
