Flight compensation Widerøe:
Trondheim — Rørvik

Legal right to compensation: Widerøe flight between Trondheim and Rørvik

If your trip departing from Trondheim and arriving at Rørvik operated by Widerøe was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Trondheim and Rørvik (154 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.

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 Trondheim - Rørvik is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 154 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 Rørvik.
• 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

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 Trondheim airport in case of prolonged wait?

During these long hours of waiting in the Trondheim terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

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?

Starting a procedure against Widerøe for a flight from Trondheim to Rørvik can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

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