Procedure: Lufthansa Cargo flight compensation from Casablanca to Frankfurt

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Casablanca and Frankfurt with Lufthansa Cargo? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 277 km of flight, the company Lufthansa Cargo is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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: Mohammed V International Airport (CMN)
  • Arrival airport: Frankfurt am Main International Airport (FRA)
  • Flight distance: 2 277 km (~2h51)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Lufthansa Cargo Casablanca - Frankfurt is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Frankfurt am Main International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Lufthansa Cargo owes you 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Lufthansa Cargo sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Mohammed V International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Lufthansa Cargo to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Lufthansa Cargo compensation

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

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Casablanca, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Lufthansa Cargo.

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

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

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Mohammed V International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Lufthansa Cargo.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Lufthansa Cargo?

The amicable route with Lufthansa Cargo to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

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

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

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

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Lufthansa Cargo on your smartphone.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

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