Claim and compensation for flight Air Europa Brussels - Madrid

The BRU - MAD route operated by Air Europa experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Brussels Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 316 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Air Europa is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Brussels Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Brussels - Madrid flight.
