Claim and compensation for flight Ryanair Madrid - Tanger

Your claim for compensation for the Ryanair flight from Madrid to Tanger deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Madrid and Tanger (566 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Ryanair.

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: Ibn Batouta Airport (TNG)
  • Flight distance: 566 km (~0h42)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Ryanair.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Ryanair offers you a voucher for your Madrid - Tanger flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 566 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. 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 Tanger.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Madrid airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Ryanair (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

The impact of a strike on your Ryanair compensation

Don't be fooled by Ryanair's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Ryanair is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Madrid Barajas International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Ryanair, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Madrid Barajas International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
