Hasvik — Tromso

Legal right: Widerøe flight between Hasvik and Tromso

Given the route between Hasvik and Tromso (151 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Widerøe. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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 goodwill gesture from Widerøe, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

A frequent concern is about how long it takes. A claim sent yourself to Widerøe's claims team can take several weeks, even months before you get a response.

The advantage of outsourcing your case to a specialist service is that they can accelerate the process through automated legal notices and the constant threat of court action.

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

The first refusal from Widerøe should not discourage you. Very often, claims teams cite "force majeure" automatically to test the traveller's determination.

The national CAA or its EU equivalents can be slow. A private legal action against Widerøe is often faster. For short-haul, the local small claims court is often competent.
