Right to care with delays longer than 2 hours

If you’re facing an unplanned strike, it can take you by surprise. If you’re at the airport and your Air Arabia Maroc flight is delayed for more than 2 hours, you have the right to food, drink, and even a hotel stay if needed. In some cases, the airline will provide vouchers for food and drink, but it’s important to keep receipts if they’re not provided.

It’s not mandatory to accept a different flight offered by Air Arabia Maroc.

The airline is obliged to offer you a complimentary alternative flight. They should try to provide you with the earliest possible flight, but if all the flights are fully booked, they might offer you an alternative option that makes your travel plans redundant.

If the airline proposes an alternative flight that doesn’t suit you, you can refuse it and the airline must refund the ticket price. If the airline fails to offer you an alternative or if you find a better option on your own, the airline must compensate you for the price difference between the two tickets.

Advice: It’s recommended that you wait for an official update from Air Arabia Maroc before taking any action

Although you may want to secure a new flight as soon as possible, it’s important to avoid booking an alternative flight until you receive confirmation from Air Arabia Maroc that your flight has been cancelled, as there may be few other flights available from other airlines. If the strike is called off, you will lose your money.

Affected by the strike of Air Arabia Maroc? You are entitled to compensation

In the event of a strike by the airline’s own personnel, such as pilots, cabin crew, or ground staff, Air Arabia Maroc can be held accountable. According to Regulation 261/2004, this is not considered force majeure, and you have the right to compensation if your arrival is delayed by more than 3 hours or you arrive 1 hour earlier.

The compensation amount is based on the distance of your travel and whether the cancellation of your flight was communicated less than 2 weeks before your departure.

The amount of compensation is not dependent on your ticket price. It is possible that the compensation you receive is higher than the cost of your ticket. The amount of compensation is determined based on the distance of the journey.

Compensation by Distance

• €250 for flights up to 1,500 km
• €400 for flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
• €600 for flights over 3,500 km
