From Trondheim, your flight with Widerøe to Namsos was disrupted? EU legislation guarantees solid rights against carriers.

Your payout amount is independent of the fare. The distance alone of 117 km determines the payout under CE 261/2004.

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.

  • Departure airport: Trondheim (TRD)
  • Arrival airport: Namsos (OSY)
  • Flight distance: 117 km (~0h09)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This fixed compensation system was created to discourage airlines from cancelling flights without compelling reasons. Don't hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful legal tool.
