Full breakdown: Royal Air Maroc claim Rome → Casablanca

If your flight from Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport to Mohammed V International Airport flown by Royal Air Maroc was impacted, you are not alone when dealing with the airline.

With 1 976 km between Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport and Mohammed V International Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 400€ per person.

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: Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport (FCO)
  • Arrival airport: Mohammed V International Airport (CMN)
  • Flight distance: 1 976 km (~2h28)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Royal Air Maroc, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Royal Air Maroc Rome - Casablanca is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Casablanca|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Royal Air Maroc is responsible for|the fault lies with} Royal Air Maroc.

An class change doesn't change your right to 400€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

What are the conditions for Royal Air Maroc to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Royal Air Maroc compensation

The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Royal Air Maroc's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.

Question Royal Air Maroc's justification. Some carriers falsely present internal strikes as "extraordinary circumstances" to escape {paying compensation|the 400€}.

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

The right to care is a crucial provision of the EU text. Regardless of the 400€ question, if the delay drags on at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, Royal Air Maroc is obliged to provide coupons for food and drink.

The regulation is very clear: assistance is not an optional courtesy from Royal Air Maroc. It is a binding duty that can be sanctioned.

Recovering 400€ has never been faster thanks to the technology between defence platforms and Royal Air Maroc's systems.

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

Royal Air Maroc's use of technical language is often a strategy to encourage travellers to give up on their 400€. On medium-haul, airlines often refuse initially to filter claims.

A recovery firm will know precisely how to rebut Royal Air Maroc's excuses, having access to certified weather records and traffic reports from Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport to prove the airline's fault.
