Flight compensation Widerøe:
Stavanger — Aberdeen

Refund and compensation Widerøe: route Stavanger to Aberdeen

If your trip departing from Stavanger Airport, Sola and arriving at Aberdeen Dyce Airport operated by Widerøe was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 497 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.

This is not a commercial 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 Stavanger - Aberdeen is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 497 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Widerøe to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Widerøe compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Widerøe staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Stavanger Airport, Sola airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Stavanger 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 Stavanger Airport, Sola airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
