How to be compensated by Royal Air Maroc on the Madrid (MAD) - Marrakech (RAK) line
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Royal Air Maroc did not respect its scheduled times for your Madrid - Marrakech flight, the law is on your side.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 064 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: Madrid Barajas International Airport (MAD)
- Arrival airport: Menara Airport (RAK)
- Flight distance: 1 064 km (~1h20)
- 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 Royal Air Maroc Madrid - Marrakech is eligible?

The impact of a strike on your Royal Air Maroc compensation
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Menara Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.
The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Madrid - Marrakech flight.
What are your rights at Madrid airport in case of prolonged wait?
In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Madrid Barajas International Airport, Royal Air Maroc must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
