Flight compensation Widerøe:
Trondheim — Harstad/Narvik

Claim and compensation for flight Widerøe Trondheim - Harstad/Narvik

Your claim for compensation for the Widerøe flight from Trondheim to Harstad/Narvik deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Trondheim and Harstad/Narvik (617 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Widerøe.

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 Trondheim, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Widerøe Trondheim - Harstad/Narvik is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Harstad/Narvik. If Widerøe made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes, your claim is legitimate.

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 Harstad/Narvik.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Trondheim airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Widerøe (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Widerøe compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Trondheim - Harstad/Narvik trip is due to an internal strike within Widerøe, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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 Trondheim airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Trondheim airport becomes your temporary residence because of Widerøe, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Trondheim remains valid. The hotel is due if Widerøe offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Widerøe?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Widerøe boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Trondheim airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Trondheim to Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes can drag on if you don't follow up.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Widerøe on your smartphone.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Trondheim - Harstad/Narvik line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Widerøe will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
