Aeromexico Delayed from Europe? Claim EU261 Compensation Up to €600
Aeromexico (IATA: AM) operates transatlantic flights from Madrid, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris CDG, London Heathrow, and Frankfurt to Mexico City (MEX) and other Mexican cities. Although Mexican, EU Regulation 261/2004 applies to all airlines departing from EU or UK airports. All Aeromexico routes from Europe exceed 8,900 km — qualifying for the maximum €600 per person with a 4+ hour delay. Critically, Spain passengers have only 1 year to file.
⚠️ Spain: 1-year deadline — Madrid and Barcelona passengers must act now
Aeromexico operates some of the most popular routes from Madrid (MAD) and Barcelona (BCN) to Mexico City. Spanish law gives you only 1 year to file an EU261 claim. If your Aeromexico flight from Madrid or Barcelona was delayed or cancelled in 2025 or early 2026, your window may be closing. Do not wait.

Aeromexico denial tactics to watch for
- →"EU261 doesn't apply to Aeromexico" — false; EU law applies to all airlines on EU/UK-departure flights
- →Offering Club Premier points or travel vouchers instead of cash — you are entitled to cash under EU261
- →"Technical issue as extraordinary circumstances" — not valid under EU261
- →"Mexico weather at destination" — only extraordinary circumstances at the EU/UK departure airport excuse delays
- →Codeshare: if flying on an Air France or KLM code but operated by Aeromexico, claim against Aeromexico
