I was flying with Royal Air Maroc to Morocco (a non-EU country). Can I still claim compensation?
Yes. The British and EU flight compensation regulations apply to all flights departing from the UK or EU, no matter the airline or destination.
However, these regulations do not apply to flights arriving to UK/EU airports from non-EU countries.
See the table below for more information.
| Type of flight | Example | Compensation |
|---|---|---|
| Flying with a British carrier | Tokyo to London with British Airways | Yes |
| Flying with a EU carrier | Amsterdam to London with KLM | Yes |
| Flying with a non-UK/non-EU carrier from the UK | London to Tokyo with Japan Airlines | Yes |
| Flying with a non-UK/non-EU carrier to the UK | Tokyo to London with Japan Airlines | No |
Extraordinary circumstances — can Royal Air Maroc deny me compensation?
When a third party or force majeure causes a delay or cancellation, Royal Air Maroc has the right to refuse compensation. These situations are referred to as extraordinary circumstances.
Some of the most common extraordinary circumstances are:
Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.
A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).
However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!
Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.
Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.
A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.
An ill or unruly passenger.
Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.
How long do I have to claim my Royal Air Maroc compensation and refund?
You have 6 years to claim compensation and refund if you had a delayed flight to or from the United Kingdom. The exception is Scotland, where you have 5 years to claim.
Different rules might apply if your itinerary does not include the United Kingdom.
