Refund and compensation Air Europa: route Madrid to Bucharest

If your trip departing from Madrid Barajas International Airport and arriving at Henri Coand? International Airport operated by Air Europa was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Madrid and Bucharest (2 458 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air Europa.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Air Europa.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
