Flight compensation Ryanair:
Fuerteventura — Madrid

Legal right to compensation: Ryanair flight between Fuerteventura and Madrid

If your trip departing from Fuerteventura Airport and arriving at Madrid Barajas International Airport operated by Ryanair was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Fuerteventura Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 634 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 Ryanair is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Fuerteventura Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Ryanair Fuerteventura - Madrid is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Fuerteventura - Madrid flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 1 634 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Ryanair to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

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

A strike by weather services at Fuerteventura Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Ryanair has no control.
