Flight compensation Widerøe:
Mosjoen — Bodo

Legal right: Widerøe flight between Mosjoen and Bodo

If your journey from Mosjoen to Bodo operated by Widerøe was disrupted, you are not alone when dealing with the carrier.

With 173 km between Mosjoen and Bodo, 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.

This is not a goodwill gesture from Widerøe, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Widerøe Mosjoen - Bodo is eligible?

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

A little-known fact: you have up to 5 years to file your claim against Widerøe for the Mosjoen→Bodo flight. Don't assume it's impossible to claim if the incident was some time ago.

What are the conditions for Widerøe to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Widerøe compensation

Be wary by Widerøe's evasive wording: a unannounced or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

It's worth noting that the obligation to prove rests on Widerøe. It is the carrier's responsibility to demonstrate that the disruption of your Mosjoen-Bodo flight results from a truly unforeseeable event.

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

If Mosjoen turns into your involuntary base because of Widerøe, the law stipulates that your essential requirements must be covered by the carrier. Assistance is due from 2 hours for flights of this distance.

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at Mosjoen still applies. The hotel must be provided if Widerøe delays your flight overnight.
