How to be compensated by Binter Canarias on the Marrakech (RAK) - Gran Canaria (LPA) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Marrakech and Gran Canaria with Binter Canarias? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 818 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Menara Airport (RAK)
  • Arrival airport: Gran Canaria Airport (LPA)
  • Flight distance: 818 km (~1h01)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Binter Canarias Marrakech - Gran Canaria is eligible?

For an Binter Canarias flight from Marrakech to Gran Canaria, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

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

What are the conditions for Binter Canarias to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Marrakech, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Binter Canarias compensation

A work stoppage of Binter Canarias crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

A strike by weather services at Menara Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Binter Canarias has no control.

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

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

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Menara Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Binter Canarias?

Getting justice against carrier Binter Canarias requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Binter Canarias flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Binter Canarias. An expert can reduce this time by half.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Binter Canarias's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Binter Canarias convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
