Flight compensation AeroMéxico:
Madrid — Brussels

Procedure: AeroMéxico flight compensation from Madrid to Brussels

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If AeroMéxico did not respect its scheduled times for your Madrid - Brussels flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 316 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires AeroMéxico to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight AeroMéxico Madrid - Brussels is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Brussels Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, AeroMéxico owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If AeroMéxico sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Madrid Barajas International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for AeroMéxico to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Brussels.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Madrid airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to AeroMéxico (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your AeroMéxico compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Madrid - Brussels trip is due to an internal strike within AeroMéxico, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Madrid Barajas International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which AeroMéxico has no control.

What are your rights at Madrid airport in case of prolonged wait?

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. AeroMéxico must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Madrid.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Madrid Barajas International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
