The impact of a strike on your Widerøe compensation

The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Widerøe's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.

The difference is fine but crucial. By engaging specialist lawyers, they will check in aeronautical databases the real cause of the delay logged on the day of your Trondheim → Sandefjord flight.

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