Frequently asked questions
What compensation can I get for a delayed flight from Oslo Airport?
Under EU Regulation EC 261/2004, compensation from Oslo (OSL) ranges from €250 to €600 per passenger, depending on flight distance: €250 for under 1,500 km, €400 for 1,500–3,500 km, and €600 for over 3,500 km. This applies when your flight is delayed by 3 or more hours at arrival, or cancelled with less than 14 days' notice.
Does EC 261/2004 apply to all flights departing Oslo?
Yes. Any flight departing from Oslo Airport (OSL) is covered by EC 261/2004 regardless of the airline or destination — this includes non-EU carriers. If you fly INTO Oslo on a non-EU airline from outside the EU, you would need to check if that route is covered.
What are the most common causes of delays at Oslo Airport?
Oslo Airport experiences disruptions from Winter snow/ice, De-icing delays, Fog and Wind, ATC restrictions. Note that not all of these count as "extraordinary circumstances" — technical problems and staff shortages are NOT valid reasons for airlines to deny compensation.
