When Aeroméxico cancels your flight

Severe delays with Aeroméxico
For flights delayed by more than 3 hours at arrival, Aeroméxico is required by European law to pay compensation. The amount depends strictly on the flight distance, not the ticket price.
Bumpped from a Aeroméxico flight?
Overbooking is a known practice. If Aeroméxico denies you boarding due to overcapacity, you are entitled to the same high levels of compensation as if the flight had been cancelled.
When Aeroméxico doesn't have to pay
Compensation is not applicable in 'extraordinary circumstances' – events outside of Aeroméxico's control. Examples include severe adverse weather conditions, air traffic control restrictions, or medical emergencies. Aeroméxico must prove these circumstances to deny your claim.
Can you claim for Aeroméxico staff strikes?
Yes. If the strike involves Aeroméxico's own employees, such as their pilots or cabin crew, it is considered within their control, and you are eligible for compensation.
Time limits for claiming against Aeroméxico
Depending on the jurisdiction, you usually have between 3 to 6 years to submit your claim against Aeroméxico for a past flight disruption.
