Possible compensation

You may be entitled to up to €400 (≈ SEK 4,600) per person, but the amount can be halved if the airline offered re-routing within set time limits.

This is an estimate. The airline may invoke extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, ATC strike, security threat) and refuse. Not legal advice.
