CE 261 payout: Iberia Airlines flight Rabat → Paris

Major delay on your Iberia Airlines flight Rabat ✈ Paris? This affects many passengers regularly. Good news: you have concrete rights.

The good news is, for this journey of 1 797 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Iberia Airlines to provide financial compensation. This medium-haul distance places your flight in an intermediate bracket.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Rabat (RBA)
  • Arrival airport: Paris-Orly Airport (ORY)
  • Flight distance: 1 797 km (~2h15)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Unlike what {many think|Iberia Airlines might suggest}, this payout doesn't depend on the fare. A €30 ticket gives the same rights as an €800 booking.

The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation

A strike action by Iberia Airlines's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400€.

A strike by air traffic control at Rabat or Eurocontrol is an independent circumstance over which Iberia Airlines cannot act.

Most travellers are unaware that Iberia Airlines is obliged to provide them meals, drinks and communications from the first hours at Rabat. It's a right, not a favour.
