Flight compensation Widerøe:
Molde — Copenhagen

Refund and compensation Widerøe: route Molde to Copenhagen

The MOL - CPH route operated by Widerøe 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 849 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.

Did you know? Even if Widerøe is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Molde Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Widerøe Molde - Copenhagen is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Widerøe offers you a voucher for your Molde - Copenhagen flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Widerøe to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Copenhagen.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Molde 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 of Widerøe crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Widerøe is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Molde 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 Molde Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Widerøe?

For your Molde - Copenhagen trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Widerøe staff at the Molde Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

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

Airlines like Widerøe sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

A collective action on the Widerøe flight from Molde can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Widerøe's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
