Frequently Asked Questions
How much compensation for a Rome–Casablanca delay?
Rome Fiumicino (FCO) to Casablanca Mohammed V Airport (CMN) is approximately 2,000 km — medium-haul tier (1,500–3,500 km). EU261 compensation is €400 per person for a 3+ hour arrival delay or cancellation with less than 14 days' notice. Italy's limitation period is 2 years from the date of the disrupted flight.
Does EU261 apply to Royal Air Maroc from Rome Fiumicino?
Yes, on Rome FCO departures only. Royal Air Maroc is a Moroccan carrier not registered in the EU. EU261 applies to ALL airlines departing from EU airports — so a Royal Air Maroc delay from Rome entitles you to €400 per person if you arrived 3+ hours late. For the return Casablanca → Rome on Royal Air Maroc, EU261 does NOT apply. ITA Airways (EU carrier) covers both directions.
What is the deadline to claim in Italy for a Rome–Casablanca delay?
Italy applies a 2-year limitation period for EU261 passenger rights claims under Article 2946 of the Italian Civil Code as applied to aviation claims. This gives less time than France (5 years) or Spain (5 years) but more than Belgium (1 year). The Italian enforcement body is ENAC (Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile). For ADR, passengers can contact the Italian conciliation body or file a court claim.
ITA Airways rejected my EU261 claim — how do I escalate?
If ITA Airways (formerly Alitalia) rejects your EU261 claim, escalate to ENAC (Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile), the Italian civil aviation authority. ENAC handles passenger rights complaints and can take enforcement action against airlines. File your complaint on ENAC's website with your rejection letter. Italy does not have a dedicated aviation ADR scheme like the UK (CEDR) or Germany (SÖP) — ENAC acts as both regulator and enforcement body.
Does EU261 cover flights from Rome Ciampino (CIA) to Morocco?
Yes. Rome Ciampino Airport (CIA), officially 'Rome–Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport', is an EU airport in Italy. EU261 applies to all flights departing from Ciampino. Ryanair frequently operates Rome Ciampino–Casablanca routes. Rome Ciampino–Casablanca is approximately 2,000 km — medium-haul, €400 EU261 compensation for 3+ hour delays.
