Royal Air Maroc Delayed from Europe? Claim EU261 Compensation Up to €400
Royal Air Maroc (IATA: AT) — Morocco's national airline and Africa's first oneworld member — operates high-frequency flights between Europe and Morocco. Despite being Moroccan, EU Regulation 261/2004 applies to all Royal Air Maroc flights departing from EU or UK airports. Passengers are entitled to fixed compensation for delays of 3+ hours or cancellations with less than 14 days' notice — up to €400 per person for most European routes.
⚠️ Spain and Belgium: 1-year deadline — act immediately
For flights departing from Spanish airports (Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, Seville), the statute of limitations is only 1 yearfrom the flight date. Brussels (Belgium) is also 1 year. If your Royal Air Maroc flight was from a Spanish or Belgian airport, your claim window may already be closing — don't wait.

Royal Air Maroc denial tactics to watch for
- →"EU261 doesn't apply to Royal Air Maroc" — false; EU law applies to all carriers on EU/UK-departure flights
- →"Weather in Morocco was the cause" — weather at the destination is only extraordinary if it directly prevented landing; a departure delay from Paris or Amsterdam is still your airline's responsibility
- →Offering Safar Flyer miles instead of cash — you are entitled to cash compensation
- →"Technical issue as extraordinary circumstances" — routine maintenance faults are not extraordinary
- →Spain passengers: 1-year deadline — if your flight departed Madrid or Barcelona, act immediately
- →Belgium passengers: 1-year deadline — Brussels departures also have a 1-year window
