Refund and compensation Iberia Airlines: route Barcelona to Ibiza

If your trip departing from Barcelona International Airport and arriving at Ibiza Airport operated by Iberia Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 276 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
  • Arrival airport: Ibiza Airport (IBZ)
  • Flight distance: 276 km (~0h21)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 Iberia Airlines.
