Frequently Asked Questions
Does EU261 apply to Royal Air Maroc flights from Europe?
Yes. EU261 applies to all airlines departing from EU airports, regardless of the airline's nationality. Royal Air Maroc (RAM) is a Moroccan state carrier — not EU-registered — but EU261 fully applies to RAM flights departing from Paris CDG, Amsterdam AMS, Brussels BRU, Frankfurt FRA, Madrid MAD and all other EU airports. The return flights from Casablanca, Marrakech, Agadir or any other Moroccan airport on RAM are NOT covered (non-EU carrier, non-EU departure).
How much compensation for a Royal Air Maroc delay from Europe?
All major European cities to Morocco are in the medium-haul compensation tier (1,500–3,500 km): Paris–Casablanca ~2,100 km, Paris–Marrakech ~2,300 km, Amsterdam–Casablanca ~2,100 km, Frankfurt–Casablanca ~2,350 km, Brussels–Casablanca ~2,150 km. EU261 compensation for medium-haul delays of 3+ hours is €400 per person. For London–Morocco routes, UK261 applies at £350.
Royal Air Maroc rejected my EU261 claim — what should I do?
Escalate to the national enforcement body or ADR scheme in your departure country. Paris departure: DGAC or Médiateur du Tourisme (France, 5yr deadline). Amsterdam departure: ILT or Geschillencommissie Luchtvaart (Netherlands, 2yr deadline — urgent). Frankfurt departure: LBA or SÖP (Germany, 3yr). Brussels departure: OmbudsMan Voyages (Belgium, 1yr — most urgent). London departure: CEDR Aviation (UK261, 6yr). Royal Air Maroc participates in most European ADR schemes.
Belgium departure — why only 1 year to claim against Royal Air Maroc?
Belgium applies a 1-year limitation period for aviation passenger rights claims — the shortest in the EU. If your Brussels–Casablanca or Brussels–Marrakech Royal Air Maroc flight was delayed or cancelled more than 10 months ago, file immediately via OmbudsMan Voyages. There is no grace period. Do not wait.
I booked Paris–Casablanca–Marrakech in one ticket on Royal Air Maroc — how is compensation calculated?
If booked as a single reservation, the journey is assessed as a whole under the single-booking rule. The compensation distance is Paris → Marrakech (final destination), approximately 2,300 km — medium-haul, €400. The intermediate Casablanca stopover does not change this. The 3+ hour arrival delay is measured at Marrakech (final destination), not at Casablanca.
