The short answer
Getting compensation from Royal Air Maroc
If your Royal Air Maroc flight from the UK landed 3 hours or more late, or was cancelled with less than 2 weeks' notice, everyone on the booking may be owed £350 each when the cause was within the airline's control. Royal Air Maroc is a Moroccan airline, so only flights leaving the UK or the EU are covered, not flights from Morocco into the UK.
Is my flight from Casablanca to the UK covered?
No. UK and EU rules only cover an airline from outside Europe on flights leaving the UK or the EU. A late Royal Air Maroc flight into the UK does not pay fixed compensation.
How much is a late Royal Air Maroc flight from the UK worth?
Casablanca is between 1,500 and 3,500 km from every UK airport Royal Air Maroc flies from, and so are its Gatwick flights to Tangier and Tetouan. Landing 3 hours or more late pays £350 each. Count from when you land, not when you take off. Children count as passengers too.
What if I missed my connection in Casablanca?
If the whole trip was one booking that started in the UK, what counts is how late you reached your final destination. The amount is set by the full distance, so a trip on to West Africa can pay up to £520 each if you land 4 hours or more late.
Does a cancelled Royal Air Maroc flight count?
Yes, if you were told less than 2 weeks before the flight. You are owed the same as a long delay unless Royal Air Maroc offered a replacement close to your original times, or the cause was outside its control. You can also choose a full refund instead of a new flight.

How to claim
Claiming from Royal Air Maroc
Airlines rarely pay compensation on their own. Nothing happens until someone claims, and plenty of first claims come back refused when the airline blames something outside its control.
The rules do not change with the airline. What decides your claim is where the flight took off and how late it landed, not whose aircraft it was.
Your rights
What the rules turn on
Where the flight leaves from matters most. Anything leaving a UK airport is covered by the UK rules whoever operates it, and anything leaving the EU by the EU's. A flight into the UK or the EU is covered too when a UK or EU airline flies it. A delay of 3 hours or more on arrival pays £350 each on the distances Royal Air Maroc flies, when the cause was within the airline's control, which covers technical faults, crew shortages and the knock-on from a late inbound aircraft. It pays nothing when the cause was genuinely extraordinary, though airlines stretch that word further than the case law supports, so a refusal on those grounds is worth testing rather than accepting.
