Flight compensation Iberia Airlines:
Malaga — Amsterdam

Legal right to compensation: Iberia Airlines flight between Malaga and Amsterdam

The AGP - AMS route operated by Iberia Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Malaga and Amsterdam (1 884 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Iberia Airlines.

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.

Did you know? Even if Iberia Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Malaga, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Malaga - Amsterdam is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Malaga and Amsterdam entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Malaga - Amsterdam trip is due to an internal strike within Iberia Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Malaga or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Iberia Airlines has no control.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Malaga terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Malaga shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your AGP-AMS trip.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Malaga - Amsterdam line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Iberia Airlines will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
