Every flight departing Madrid-Barajas is covered by Regulation 261/2004; inbound flights from outside the EU are covered on EU airlines such as Iberia and Air Europa. Madrid–Buenos Aires and Madrid–New York pay €600, Madrid–Canary Islands €400, Madrid–Barcelona or Madrid–Lisbon €250. Spain's enforcement body, AESA, issues decisions that bind airlines, making Madrid departures among the most enforceable claims in Europe.

Care and re-routing when leaving Madrid
Delayed at the gate: meals, refreshments and two calls or e-mails from 2 h of delay on flights up to 1,500 km, 3 h up to 3,500 km (and on every intra-EU flight over 1,500 km), 4 h beyond — plus a hotel and transport when the departure moves to the next day. Owed whatever the cause.
Cancelled or denied boarding: the choice between a refund of the unused ticket within 7 days and re-routing to your destination at the earliest opportunity or on a later date of your choosing, with care while you wait.
Delayed 5 h or more: you may give up the journey and take a full refund of the unused ticket, with a return flight to your departure point if the trip has lost its purpose.
Madrid-Barajas is the gateway between Europe and Latin America and the busiest Spanish departure point. Spain is the strongest enforcement jurisdiction in the EU: AESA acts as an accredited dispute body and its decisions on these claims bind the airline, which makes a refusal on a Madrid departure unusually worth escalating.

Madrid-specific issues
Madrid is the gateway between Europe and Latin America. Iberia and Air Europa are EU carriers, so their inbound long-haul flights from Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Lima, Mexico City or São Paulo are covered (€600). Flights on LATAM, Avianca or Aeroméxico into Madrid are not.
Delays at Madrid are most often attributed to ATC restrictions on French overflights and to rotation delays. Iberia’s ground-handling subsidiary strikes are internal to the Iberia group and are not extraordinary.
AESA: binding decisions
Since 2023, AESA (Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea) is an accredited ADR body as well as the national enforcement body. For flights departing Spain, its decisions on Regulation 261/2004 claims are binding on the airline. File the claim with AESA after the airline has refused or failed to answer within a month; the procedure is free and handled online.
