London to Marrakech Flight Delay & Cancellation Compensation

How much compensation for a London–Marrakech delay?

London to Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) is approximately 2,300 km — medium-haul tier (1,500–3,500 km). Under UK261, compensation is £350 per person for a 3+ hour arrival delay or cancellation with less than 14 days' notice. The UK has a 6-year limitation period — the most generous in Europe.

Does UK261 apply to Royal Air Maroc from London?

Yes. UK261 applies to all carriers departing from UK airports, including Royal Air Maroc. A Royal Air Maroc flight from London Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW) delayed 3+ hours entitles each passenger to £350. For the return Marrakech → London on Royal Air Maroc, UK261 does NOT apply (Moroccan carrier, non-UK departure). easyJet, Ryanair, and British Airways cover both directions.

My easyJet London–Marrakech flight was cancelled — can I claim?

Yes. easyJet is a UK-registered carrier. UK261 applies to easyJet flights in both directions. If cancelled with less than 14 days' notice, you are entitled to £350 per person plus refund or re-routing plus right to care. Escalate to CEDR Aviation if easyJet rejects the claim.

What about London to Casablanca, Agadir, or Fez?

All Moroccan destinations from London are medium-haul: Casablanca (~2,200 km), Agadir (~2,750 km), Fez (~2,100 km), Tangier (~2,000 km) — all qualify for £350 under UK261. Royal Air Maroc covers UK departures only; easyJet, Ryanair and British Airways cover both directions. The 6-year UK deadline applies for all these routes.

How do I escalate a rejected UK261 claim for a London–Marrakech flight?

Escalate to CEDR Aviation — the UK CAA-approved ADR scheme. Prepare your rejection letter, boarding pass, booking confirmation, and evidence of the delay length. CEDR is free for passengers and its decisions are binding on participating airlines including easyJet, Ryanair, British Airways, Jet2, and Royal Air Maroc.
