Fixed compensation is only one part of passenger rights. The applicable regime, flight distance, final arrival delay, disruption cause and any rerouting can change the amount or remove fixed compensation entirely.
| Flight distance / route | Reference amount |
|---|---|
| 1,500 km or less | €250 |
| Intra-EU over 1,500 km, or other flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km | €400 |
| Other flights over 3,500 km | Up to €600 |
For long-haul EC261 delays, the amount can depend on the arrival delay and may be reduced in some rerouting situations. Extraordinary circumstances can also remove fixed compensation.
Verified nonstop route: MAD to PMI
The route from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD / LEMD) to Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI / LEPA) is not a hypothetical airport pair. FlightConnections listed about 321 scheduled nonstop flights for this route in the current month when the schedule was checked on 2026-09-17.
Schedules can change, so the route-frequency figure is evidence that the route is genuinely operated, not a promise that a particular flight will run on a future date.
Why the direction MAD → PMI matters
This page starts from a departure at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport. That makes the departure-side EC261 framework relevant before AeroDue checks the operating airline, final arrival delay and cause. The reverse PMI → MAD journey is a separate itinerary and should not be assumed to have an identical legal analysis.
When a delayed MAD–PMI journey can support fixed compensation
For a covered EC261 journey, the delay at the final destination matters more than the departure-board delay. A qualifying arrival delay can support fixed compensation, while qualifying extraordinary circumstances can remove the fixed-payment obligation.
Care, reimbursement and reasonable expense rights are separate from fixed compensation and should be checked even where the cause is disputed.
- Keep the booking showing MAD → PMI.
- Keep the operating airline and flight number.
- Record scheduled and actual arrival times at the final destination.
- Save the airline's stated cause and itemised receipts for reasonable care costs.
What the monthly schedule figure does and does not prove
The approximately 321 scheduled flights figure is route evidence only. It does not establish that your individual flight departed, was delayed, was cancelled or qualifies for compensation. AeroDue uses the actual itinerary and disruption facts for that decision.
