Complaints

Norwegian Air ombudsman & regulator routes

Which ombudsman handles Norwegian Air complaints?

an approved aviation ADR scheme (AviationADR or CEDR). Once Norwegian Air’s own complaints process is exhausted (after 8 weeks or a deadlock letter), you can take your complaint there for free. Go to the ombudsman. Read our an approved aviation ADR scheme (AviationADR or CEDR) guide.

Can you complain to the CAA about Norwegian Air?

Not for individual disputes: the CAA sets the rules for the sector but does not resolve personal complaints or award compensation. Complain to Norwegian Air directly first and keep written records, then escalate to an approved aviation ADR scheme (AviationADR or CEDR) if it stays unresolved after 8 weeks or you receive a deadlock or final-response letter. You can still report Norwegian Air to the CAA to flag systemic problems, but that will not get your own money back.

Laws that protect you

UK261 Flight Compensation Regulation

Compensation of £220 to £520, set by flight distance and how late you land, for delays, cancellations and denied boarding. Covers any flight leaving the UK, and flights into the UK only when a UK or EU airline operates them.

UK261/2004Article 3Article 7

Consumer Rights Act 2015

Services must be performed with reasonable care and skill.

Section 49Section 54

Tips for Norwegian Air complaints

  • Check UK261 covers your flight first: leaving the UK always counts, but arriving into the UK only counts if a UK or EU airline operated it
  • Keep your boarding pass and booking confirmation
  • Document the delay with photos of departure boards
  • Airlines must provide food, drink, and accommodation for long delays
  • You can claim for flights up to 6 years old
  • Extraordinary circumstances don’t include crew shortages or technical issues
  • No UK261 claim doesn’t mean no claim: the Montreal Convention still covers provable losses, and a card payment may be reversible through your bank
