All 15 tracked UK ↔ Norway routes, sorted by yearly flight volume. Figures are each; the EU version of the law pays €250 or €400 for the same two bands.
The figure is payable only when the delay was within the airline's control. A technical fault, a crew shortage or a late inbound aircraft all count; genuinely extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or an air traffic control restriction do not.
How bad is it
Do flights between the UK and Norway get delayed a lot?
No, less than most. They're better than most of the 71 countries the UK flies to most, with 0.3% of flights landing 3 or more hours late.
That works out at about 58 flights a year crossing the 3-hour line, which is the point the airline has to pay.
When is it worst?
January 2026, when flights between the UK and Norway ran an average of 13.7 minutes late.
See all the numbers for Norway
In the last 12 months, 19,254 flights operated between the UK and Norway: 81.1% ran within 15 minutes of schedule, and 0.3% were 3 or more hours late, roughly 58 flights' worth of eligible passengers in a year. The CAA's figures don't separate arrivals from departures, so this covers the corridor both ways.
Flights are landing on time more often than last year: 81.1% ran on time against 77.4% in the twelve months before, and the average delay fell from 11.7 to 9.6 minutes.

Your rights
Your rights on this corridor
Every flight leaving the UK for Norway is covered by UK law, whichever airline operates it. Flights the other way, landing in the UK from Norway, are covered too if a UK or EU airline operated them; a return flight on a non-UK, non-EU carrier falls outside it, though the Montreal Convention and Norway's own rules may still give you a claim. See the full breakdown on the 3-hour rule. Cancelled instead of delayed? Broadly the same amounts apply under different conditions. See cancelled flight compensation.
From our own tracking
Recent flights from Norway that ran late
Every arrival into the airports we sweep that departed Norway and ran 3 or more hours late, or was cancelled, since August. Newest first, and only flights UK or EU rules cover. A cancelled row carries no figure because what it pays turns on the notice you were given. Amounts are per person on the booking (half on the longest flights that landed 3 to 4 hours late). Airlines can still dispute a claim by proving the cause was outside their control, so check yours for the real answer.
