For a significant change within Airnorth's control, it rebooks you on the next available Airnorth flight to your destination at no extra cost or, at your option, refunds the applicable fare. For a significant change (4 hours +) beyond its control, it uses reasonable endeavours to rebook you, or refunds the fare if it cannot rebook you on services acceptable to you.
Meals accommodation
For a significant change within its control on the day of travel, Airnorth provides meal or refreshment vouchers (or reimburses reasonable costs); if you are delayed overnight at an 'away' port, it uses reasonable endeavours to help find accommodation or reimburses reasonable accommodation costs.

Sources and verification

Baggage, fare, check-in, disruption and contact figures are published only when they are read from Airnorth’s own pages or a named regulator, and each one shows the page and the date it was checked. Where sources disagree we show both and publish neither. Route and destination figures come from the Originfacts route dataset and show its date instead; they are not verified by hand.
