Transavia cancelled my Amsterdam–Marrakech flight — can I claim?
Yes. Transavia is a Dutch EU-registered carrier (part of the Air France–KLM group). EU261 applies to Transavia flights in both directions.

Netherlands 2-year deadline — how do I escalate before it expires?
File your claim with the airline directly first. If rejected or approaching the 2-year limit, escalate to Geschillencommissie Luchtvaart (Dutch aviation ADR). File the ADR complaint in parallel if necessary — do not wait for multiple slow rounds of airline correspondence. Geschillencommissie decisions are binding on participating airlines.
