Flight compensation Widerøe:
Mehamn — Berlevag

Legal right to compensation: Widerøe flight between Mehamn and Berlevag

If your trip departing from Mehamn Airport and arriving at Berlevag operated by Widerøe was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Mehamn Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 47 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 airline, if the flight takes off from Mehamn Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Widerøe Mehamn - Berlevag is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Berlevag. If Widerøe made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Berlevag, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Mehamn, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Widerøe to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Widerøe compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Berlevag, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

What are your rights at Mehamn airport in case of prolonged wait?

Don't buy your food without first asking Widerøe for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

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