Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I claim for Brussels–Casablanca?
Brussels to Casablanca Mohammed V is approximately 1,900 km — medium-haul tier (1,500–3,500 km). Under EU261, you are entitled to €400 per person for a 3+ hour arrival delay or cancellation within 14 days, subject to no valid extraordinary circumstances defence.
Does Brussels Airlines have to pay EU261?
Yes. Brussels Airlines is a Belgian EU carrier (part of Lufthansa Group). EU261 applies to all Brussels Airlines flights departing from Brussels Airport (BRU) and also to return flights from Casablanca, as Brussels Airlines is an EU-registered carrier. Claim via Brussels Airlines' customer relations portal.
What is the enforcement body in Belgium for EU261?
Belgium's national enforcement body for aviation is the Direction Générale Transport Aérien (DGTA). For consumer disputes, Belgium also has the OmbudsMan Voyages (ombudsmanvoyages.be), which provides free ADR mediation. Under Belgian law, the limitation period for EU261 claims is 1 year — one of the shortest in Europe — so act quickly.
My Royal Air Maroc flight from Casablanca back to Brussels was delayed 4 hours — can I claim?
No. Royal Air Maroc is a Moroccan carrier (non-EU), and Casablanca CMN is a non-EU airport. EU261 does not apply to RAM flights departing from Morocco to Europe. Your rights in this case would be under Moroccan aviation passenger law, which has more limited protections.
I have 1 year to claim in Belgium — is that correct?
Yes. Belgium's limitation period for EU261 claims is 1 year from the date of the flight. This is significantly shorter than other jurisdictions (UK: 6 years, France: 5 years, Germany: 3 years). If your Brussels-departure flight disruption is approaching its first anniversary, file your claim immediately — either directly with the airline or via a claims company.
