Flight compensation Widerøe:
Kristiansand — Trondheim

Complete guide: Widerøe compensation Kristiansand - Trondheim

You travelled with Widerøe from Kristiansand to Trondheim and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

With 604 km between Kristiansand Airport and Trondheim, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 250€ per passenger.

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 Widerøe is a non-EU carrier, if the flight departs from Kristiansand Airport, EU regulation applies completely.

How to know if the flight Widerøe Kristiansand - Trondheim is eligible?

Three conditions must be met to trigger your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at Trondheim|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Widerøe is responsible for|the fault lies with} Widerøe.

An upgrade or downgrade doesn't affect your right to 250€ if the original incident qualifies under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

What are the conditions for Widerøe to compensate you?

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