Flight compensation Air Europa:
Madrid — Brussels

Get your Air Europa flight compensation for the route Madrid - Brussels

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 316 km of flight, the company Air Europa is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 Air Europa Madrid - Brussels is eligible?

The compensation for flight MAD-BRU is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Madrid Barajas International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Air Europa 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 Air Europa (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air Europa 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 Air Europa, 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 Air Europa 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. Air Europa 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.
